We're smarter than we People think that 20 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: we're rioting, people think we're stupid, but yeah, we screamed. 21 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: You know, that's sports. But this is serious stuff. We're 22 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: talking about moms. And we'll talk a little bit about 23 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: the history of Mother's Day. I've been people never stopped 24 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: to think about when did it start? How did it start? 25 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: Well? 26 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: Way back in eighteen fifty eight when Ann Jarvis, a 27 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: young Appalachian homemaker, organized Mother's Workdays to improve the sanitation 28 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 1: and avert deaths from the seas bearing insects and seep 29 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: its from polluted water. So in nineteen oh five, when 30 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: Anne Jarvers died, her daughter Anna decided to memorialize her 31 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: mother's lifelong activism and began a campaign that ended in 32 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: nineteen fourteen when Congress passed a Mother's Day resolution. How 33 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: do you like that? So happy Mother's Day to one 34 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: in all? Doing anything special today for Mother's Day? Fuck? 35 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 2: No, just get no, no, just hanging out. I'm gonna 36 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 2: talk to her mom from afar so she'd become a 37 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 2: chrue good. Tell her. 38 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: I wish her a happy Mother's Day. She got one 39 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: hell of her son. 40 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 2: She really does, all right. 41 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: And you know, I got a story over here which 42 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,279 Speaker 1: is really about a special mom. It's kind of funny, 43 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: really is. It's kind of a genius. Really, IM going 44 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: back to January the ninth Tonia Stelly. She had to 45 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: be in two places at one time, and that's nothing 46 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: new because it becomes a tradition over the less three years, 47 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: whenever the NBA and the NHL schedules collide in just 48 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: the right way. Get this, the Knicks were playing the 49 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: Portland Trailblazers inside Madison Square Garden. That was on a 50 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: Tuesday night. Her son, Quentin Grimes, a guard with the Knicks, 51 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: back and then curling, and he's now with the Detroit Pistons. 52 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: He had a seven thirty tip off twenty miles to 53 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: the east. Her other son, Tyler Myers, defenseman for the 54 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: Vancouver Canucks, had a game at the same time against 55 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: the New York Islanders. So the mom has two sons, 56 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: one place in the NBA, one place in the NHL. 57 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: That's pretty pretty unusual. Really, is is great, isn't it. 58 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: I love that those stories like that. 59 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: No, I mean, that's pretty cool. That's frue w well. 60 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you're a star, you know what 61 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 1: I'm saying. That doesn't impress you. You're an athlete, It 62 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: doesn't impress me. Come on, two sons in the NBA. 63 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: That is a very impressive feat. I mean, okay, that's 64 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: pretty good. 65 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: A right like that? 66 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: I want to see, you know, everybody talks about the 67 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: playoffs I get it. You know, NBA has the draft 68 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: lottery today. Here's the thing. I mean, the NFL will 69 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: have like the lottery and their draft over three days 70 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: on TV, and the ratings are unbelievable. Their readings are 71 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: probably better than the NBA playoffs. Then the NBA does 72 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: everything the NFL. You know, does you know the the 73 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: the schedule release? This this what Thursday? I think it 74 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: is this Thursday, the schedule release, still have a separate 75 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: show for that. So today the NBA is going to 76 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: have like the draft lottery. Why can't they do something 77 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: like the NFL. Maybe they don't think they're strong. I 78 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: don't know. Why wouldn't they have a special show on 79 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: a special day with no other games? I don't understand that. 80 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't they do that? 81 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: You know what? 82 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: Speaking of that, Major League Baseball, when they have the 83 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame inductions in July, they have games that day. 84 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: I don't understand why they can't take a page of 85 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: the NFL. You know, I make their deals bigger than 86 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: life like the NFL does. Why don't they do that? 87 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. Don't they do it at 88 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: like halftime or a pregame show? 89 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's in the NFL three days for a draft 90 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: at something. I mean, they have a special show for 91 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: the for the schedule release this week, don't they. It's 92 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: just big deal. 93 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I think it just shows you 94 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 2: the difference in popularity between the two leagues. I mean, 95 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: the NFL is king anything. 96 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: They create that though in the NFL they created that. 97 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you talk about when they have 98 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: their deal in Indianapolis. You know, people running around their 99 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: underwear and people watch that on TV all the time. 100 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, really that bit of a deal. 101 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, but I think I think it just 102 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: shows you the love affair that people have with the game. 103 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: You know. 104 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 2: I just think it's an amazing feed that they put 105 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 2: off and people love them, people hate them. But Roger 106 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: Goodella has done a really good job of expanding the brand. 107 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 2: I mean, the brand is just so big. They did it. Look, 108 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: they made it where there's something significant in football every 109 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: month of the year, like a game that is really 110 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: a false sport. They've made relevant four seven, three sixty five, 111 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 2: and so that's a testament to the game. But also 112 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: the marketing efforts and everything the league has done around 113 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: the game to ensure that people have a rabbit like 114 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: an insatiable appetite for the sport. 115 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: You're exactly right, and baseball is going to have their draft, 116 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: I guess in a couple of weeks. And I think 117 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: it's very difficult to compare that to the NFL because 118 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: the NFL, they have the college kids and immediately they 119 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: go play in the NFL the following year, and you 120 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: follow their career in baseball the draft, even if they 121 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: had it on a special day with a special show, 122 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: you may never see these guys A or B. If 123 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: you do, it may take three, four five years for 124 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: them to go through the minor leagues to get to 125 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: the major leagues. So it's a different animal. It certainly is, 126 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: and it's difficult. I'm sure if you're a marketer for 127 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, you're scratching, say, what could we do, 128 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: what can we do to kind of get our product 129 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: just lifted a little bit, not on par with the NFL, 130 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: but just lift it a little bit, I think, honestly, 131 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: and maybe on way off base. And I don't want 132 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: to roughle any feathers, but I think one of the 133 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,559 Speaker 1: major problems I think for the Major League Baseball getting 134 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: the popularity back is. You know, a lot of the 135 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: players in that league don't speak English. You know, they're 136 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: not from the US of A. You know that, from 137 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: the far East, from the Dominican whatever it may be. 138 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: I have no problem with that. They're great ballplayers, but 139 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: they don't speak English. They've got going wrong with the interpreters. 140 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: I think it's difficult. You can't relate. 141 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 2: That that's been floated out there. And maybe there is 142 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 2: a little something to that, because like when it comes 143 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 2: to interactions and commercials and kind of building it around it. Yeah, 144 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 2: that is look that that can be a barrier. But 145 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: then also the pure talent, the pure talent of the 146 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 2: player itself can be one where fans fall in love 147 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: with them. Here's the thing, and we just talked about 148 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 2: the NFL compared to the other sports. The NFL made 149 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: it a point to always sell the team. See because 150 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: the team is consistent, the team is stable, the team 151 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 2: never leaves, all right. The NBA and other leagues they 152 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 2: sell their stars. Well. Then the free agency era, the 153 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 2: player movement era, stars move around and so then you 154 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 2: put fans in conflict because my favorite player has been 155 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: playing for the Yankees for six years then he leads 156 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 2: to go to the California Angels whatever, Los Angeles Angels 157 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: of Anaheim, whatever they call. Now, you know it, does 158 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: my fandom go with my player? Do I stay with 159 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 2: my team? The league, the NFL has done it where 160 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,679 Speaker 2: you always stay with your team no matter who leaves, 161 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: and so it's just a matter of the packaging. They've 162 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: done a really good job from the jump of selling 163 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: the team, which is why fans are so loyal to 164 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: the team, whereas other leagues have done the stars and 165 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 2: that just makes it hard for fans to be loyal 166 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 2: to a team when they adore their favorite player. 167 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: But you know what, It's funny you mention that because 168 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: I think that when the TV promotes a game in 169 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: the NFL, they're not promoting, say Green Bay against the Giants. 170 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: They're promoting quarterback versus quarterback. And when I'm watching the 171 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: NBA playoffs, they're not even saying it's Boston versus Cleveland's 172 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: Tatum against Donovan Mitchell. It's always about the players, and 173 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: I think that has created the one on one stuff 174 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: to start them and people follow the player, I think 175 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: more than the team, Like I want to watch it 176 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: because I want to see Donovan Mitchell. I'm not a 177 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavalier finn really, you know, I kind of like 178 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: the Celtics, but you know, I would never go on 179 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: my way to watch the Cavaliers. But Donovan Mitchell, what 180 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: a great player he is. He's become a superstar now 181 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: and was yesterday. I'm watching the game last night. He 182 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: had like twenty three points in the first half, you know. 183 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: So I think that TV has done that. And look, 184 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: you watch the games on TV, if you want to 185 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: watch the Ravens. They don't say it's the Ravens against 186 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: the Bengals. It's Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson is Joe Burrow. 187 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: That's what it is. I mean. And they give the 188 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 1: quarterback records, which I always thought was unfair. You know, 189 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: what's his record. It's not his record, it's the team's record. 190 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: But that's what they do. That's how they sell it. 191 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: It is how they said it. I think, you know, 192 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 2: I think I think the funny thing about when people 193 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 2: talk about like the quarterback win thing. It is a 194 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 2: team win, but the quarterback gets it. And I feel 195 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 2: like that come from watching MLB and pitchers, because pictures 196 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: always got the win or loss based on sometimes based 197 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 2: on the effort, but sometimes it can be like the 198 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: defense or you know, the pitchers is terrible, but they 199 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: went an eleven ten game and he was there for 200 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: five plus innings, so he gets to win. I don't know, 201 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 2: but you are right in terms of like their marketing 202 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 2: promotion on game day has been certainly about the players 203 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: and building the quarterbacks up because the NFL also felt 204 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: like it was big business to build a quarterback up. 205 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 2: It wasn't always about the quarterback, but it has become 206 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 2: about the quarterback because on TV we love to have 207 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 2: heroes and villains, and quarterbacks are viewed as heroes, and 208 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 2: it's easy to paint the defense of players as villains. 209 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 2: And that has been a big part of the marketing 210 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 2: ploy to get people lured in, which is why we 211 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 2: have these conversations about the goat, which quarterback is the 212 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 2: greatest of all time. You just sat there and said 213 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: that it's a team game and the team wins or loses, 214 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 2: but we who's the goat? Based on what Super Bowl rings, 215 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 2: Tom Brady is considered to go over Joe Manten and 216 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 2: others because oh, we has seven rings. So it's that 217 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 2: that kind of great debate that we have where we're 218 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 2: talking about the team success, but we're trying to attribute 219 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: it to a player because we see players get so 220 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 2: much success or credit for success in other sports. 221 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: You know what, You've made a great point and the 222 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: one word that kind of stood out in my mind 223 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: when you talk about how they sell sports, and this 224 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: is nothing new, You've got to have a villain. There's 225 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: always been a villain. And I'm going to go back 226 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: and I'm going to show my age back as a kid, 227 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: the big battle was always Bill Russell against wil Chamberlain, 228 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: and Chamberlain, for some reason, was always the villain. I 229 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: think Will Chamblain were the greatest players of all time 230 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: doesn't get the respect that he deserves because you know, 231 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: people who follow the sports now don't know history. That's 232 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: their problem. You got to study history of sport, all 233 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: sport if you want to talk about it and sound normal. Really, 234 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: and most of these broadcasters right now talk about the 235 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore of basketball and they leave Chamberlain off day 236 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: why they don't know they won't even know who Wil 237 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: Chamblain is. But that's how they sold the game back 238 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: in the day, because Bill Russell won Bill Russell won 239 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: eleven rings and Will Chamberlain couldn't. Will Chamblin and Bill 240 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: Russell used to tie him up in notch and they 241 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: sold a game like that, and Chamberlain was the villain 242 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: at to some extent. I think Lebron is the villain 243 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: a little bit today too. Lebron is a little bit 244 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: of a villain. 245 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean I think he gets a little 246 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 2: bit of that. I think there's some fatigue that comes 247 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 2: with it, you know, in terms of like when you win, 248 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: and I think all guys that win a ton they 249 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 2: eventually go from being celebrated to kind of being hated. 250 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 2: Think about Pat Mahomes. Pat Maholmes is a feel good story. Early, 251 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 2: we love them this and that, but then you win 252 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 2: three Super Bowls and now you go on the other 253 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 2: side of the equation. That's just a part of it, 254 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 2: you know. We talked about heroes and villains. It's kind 255 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 2: of like the storybook arc that we see in Hollywood. 256 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 2: You know, they build you up then so they can 257 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 2: tear you down. Same thing in our sports. We love 258 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: our heroes until we hate them after they start winning, 259 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 2: dominating for so long. It's just a part of the deal. 260 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. You talk about heroes, you know, 261 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 1: it's funny. I'm watching the Nick game on TV. It 262 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: was a Wednesday night, I believe in they're playing the 263 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: Pacers of Madison Square Garden and they have the camera 264 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: shot they paned the camera shot over there and they 265 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 1: see all these celebrities court side, and I'm sure you 266 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: know you're part of that. I mean, you want to 267 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: go to a game, you get on the phone, you 268 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: call your agent and it'll get your seat. That's what 269 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: it's all about. I always wondered, how did they get 270 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: the tickets? Are they free tickets? And how do they 271 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: decide who sits where court side? Tuesday was a Wednesday 272 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: night at Madison Square Garden. Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Chris 273 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: Rock and what John Starks the former Knicks with there. 274 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: Alan Houston was there. Bernard King, who I saw playing 275 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: Fort Hamilton High School in Brooklyn as a high school player, 276 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: CECS at Bathy was there. All these guys, Kevin Bacon, 277 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: Ice Spice was there. I've said, how did they get 278 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: in there? You know, who are these? Who are they 279 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: called to get in there? I found out as far 280 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: as the Knicks were concerned. There's an upper case celebrity 281 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: row and a lower case right six to eight front 282 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: row seats secifically together for the game's most prominent attendees, 283 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: and the lowercase celebrity row, which is more broadly represents 284 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: the dozens of actors, singers, athletes, and the moguls who 285 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: rub elbows with the most expensive, camera friendly seats. Interesting. 286 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: I mean, so, in other words, their agent would call 287 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 1: up Madison Square guard know the Knicks and say I 288 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: want to get a ticket, and they kind of have 289 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: a difference of a celebrity row A and celebrity row B. 290 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: And I'm sure Bucky Brooks your celebrity row A. I'm 291 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: sure when you go to these games. 292 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 2: Well, so, also you have to think about it from 293 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: the team standpoint. The team wants stars to be at 294 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 2: the game because it brings other stars to it. I 295 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 2: am sure that there's a marketing genius, someone who carefully 296 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 2: has put the seats in certain spots that are always 297 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 2: on TV so that those stars are visible, because it 298 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: creates that. It's a matter of a do you want 299 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 2: to have your feet on the wood on the floor 300 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 2: so everyone can see you? Where do you want them 301 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: at it should we put them near the bench and 302 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: those things. And it also is how big of a 303 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: star is it. You know, there's a difference in Serena 304 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 2: Williams showing up and somebody else showing up compared to 305 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,599 Speaker 2: a smaller star. We want to make sure that the 306 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 2: big stars are visible. They're on the floor, everyone can 307 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 2: see them, touch them and those things, because all it 308 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: does it makes other stars want to come and get 309 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 2: the same treatment. It's a brilliant employee. It's one that 310 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 2: has been done in major markets that you talk about 311 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 2: New York and LA. Just think about the Lakers and 312 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 2: the Showtime era and for how long we've seen those 313 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 2: Hollywood celebrities show up there. Everybody wants to get that treatment, 314 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 2: and you're right, it's orchestrated between the agents and the team. 315 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 2: The agent has a number that they call, someone that 316 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 2: they talk to and then they figure out how to 317 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 2: get it done. Well. 318 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: Think about this though, if you watch football and NFL 319 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: must the love Taylor Swift because that was unbelievable and 320 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: that was great all right, And the NBA is tremendous 321 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: because the court side and you can see him, you know, 322 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: as as soon as they paying the shot. You know, 323 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: every time there's a camera downstairs, you could see them 324 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: all just running back and forth when the players are playing. 325 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: But baseball, I have yet to really see many celebrities 326 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: at baseball games. Think about that. Really, you watch a 327 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: baseball game on TV. They're not painting the crowd for 328 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: a celebrity, unless maybe the World Series perhaps, But other 329 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: than that, it's NFL and NBA with the celebris. That's 330 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: where it's at. 331 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 2: That is where it's at. That's funny, but I mean 332 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 2: that's just where it is. And it's funny that you 333 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 2: brought up the thing about Taylor Swift because Taylor Swift 334 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 2: absolutely created a lot of positive conversation, a lot of 335 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 2: positive energy for the league. She brought in a lot 336 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 2: of casuals. A lot of people that didn't watch football 337 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 2: started tuning in to get the Taylor Swift slighting. And 338 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 2: I know it annoyed maybe some hardcore fans, but hey man, 339 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 2: it's good for business. I am sure the fact that 340 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl, Taylor Swift 341 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 2: is dating one of their most prominent players, that certainly 342 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 2: didn't hurt it because it brought a lot of new 343 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 2: fans in and I would like to think they would 344 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 2: hope that that relationship continue us because it's been such 345 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 2: a boom for the National Football League, no doubt about that. 346 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: You're a boom for this show.

You know you can't 380 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: make this up, and I'll tell you what it is. 381 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: NBA announced I think it was Thursday, they suspended Milwaukee 382 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: Books called Patrick Beverley. Why he launched a ball into 383 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: the stands directly fans of the Indiana Paces not once, 384 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 1: but twice, including hit one in the head. He had 385 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: a guy in the head hit him in the face, 386 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: then is a nut job? Continued into the locker room. 387 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: He would not give an interview to Melinda Adams of ESPN. 388 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: Why she was asking you questions? But she did not 389 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: subscribe to his podcast, and this is a rule. A 390 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 1: reporter said that he has maintained since coming to Milwaukee, 391 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: becoming a Milwaukee Buck. 392 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 4: So what did he do? 393 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: He kicked her out of the interview. All right, you 394 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: can't make this stuff up. You can't make up stupid. 395 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: I'm talking about knuckleheads. Now, okay, players, Bucky players can't 396 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: find twenty five g's for throwing a mouthpiece into the crownd. Meanwhile, 397 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: the NBA saw unfit to suspend Patrick Beverly for only 398 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: four games for throwing basketballs not one basketballs too directly 399 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: of paying customers. This guy should have been locked up, 400 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: locked up and stripped of his laces. That's what he 401 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: should have been done. I don't believe what happened over here. 402 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: This is just one of several knucklehead stories that we 403 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: have here. But what do you think about the Patrick 404 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 1: Beverly thing? 405 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, I thought it was a look. 406 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 2: He should have been punish the suspension four games or 407 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 2: whatever it is like, however they met that out like, 408 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 2: because every league has a CBA that has how you 409 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 2: have to outline punishments and who decides to punishments in 410 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 2: those things. Look, it was a bad ad. It was 411 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 2: a bad look on the league. It's an immature act 412 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 2: on Pat best part. He doubled down on it by 413 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 2: then going in there and having an incident with media members, 414 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 2: which you can't do. He has to understand how people 415 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 2: have to be able to do their job as part 416 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 2: of the obligation as a player to grant interviews in 417 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 2: those things. And what's unfortunate for Pat is Pat has 418 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 2: a really really popular podcast to Pat Beverley Podcasts, and 419 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 2: Pat had really set a foundation for him to slide, 420 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 2: I would say, seamlessly into the media when he's done, 421 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 2: because he has a good personality, he has great insight 422 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 2: in those things. But look, this is really a black 423 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 2: eye form. I mean, it's definitely a smudge on his 424 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 2: character and his reputation, and he's going to have to 425 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 2: work really hard to change it. In terms of the 426 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 2: fan interaction, it's always on the player to take the 427 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 2: higher road. Fans are fans, and fans say ridiculous stuff 428 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 2: when you're there, but your job is when you're locked 429 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 2: in and engaged in playing, you can't interact with them 430 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 2: like we've seen other incidents, Like really, we've seen it 431 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 2: all year with the fans have been more in bold 432 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 2: than to say stuff, and we've seen players in particularly 433 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 2: in the NBA react differently than we've seen other leagues. 434 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 2: And so look, it's on the players to just kind 435 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 2: of like turn the other cheek regardless of what the 436 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: fan does. But I do understand how the annoyances can 437 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 2: lead a player who's already emotionally charged up to go 438 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 2: over that line. 439 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: I want to say one thing because I don't want 440 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: people to think that I'm picking on Patrick Beverley. You 441 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: could be a great guy and you have a great podcast, 442 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: but you could just have one slip up. And that's 443 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: what he did. Obviously back in twenty twenty one he 444 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: was here, would have won game suspension when he was 445 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: shoving Chris Paul. And what do I mean by that? 446 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: Lincoln Kennedy, I love him to death. I used to 447 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: work with him here on sports radio, and I remember 448 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: he told me a story that he ran into the 449 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: stands in Denver, a mile high stadium and beat the 450 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: living daylights out of a guy that threw a snowball 451 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: at him. All right, LEAGUELN. Kennedy's the greatest. I mean, 452 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: I would do anything for that man. He's wonderful. But 453 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,479 Speaker 1: sometimes you just hit a nerve and it's like when 454 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: you go to the dentist he puts that air on 455 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: your tooth and you go nuts. It happens. Okay, So 456 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Patrick Beverley is a bad guy, but 457 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: he did a bad thing, that's all I'm saying. There, agreed, Oh. 458 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 2: I'm with you on that. Like he can't do that. 459 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 2: He can't throw the ball in the stands, like you 460 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 2: just can't do that. You can't have your players throwing 461 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 2: launching balls into the stands at fans and those things, 462 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 2: and just like you can't have your players climbing into 463 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 2: the stands to confront fans. There has to be that line. 464 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 2: You got to protect the players against themselves, and regardless 465 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 2: fan behavior, players always have to be above it. And 466 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 2: that's hard, but that's how it has to be because 467 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 2: you got to protect the image of the league. 468 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: All right, speaking of knuckle let's talk about Greg Doyle, 469 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: a columnless for the Indianapolis Store come out now that 470 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: he is uh, he's been suspended by The Indianapolis Star 471 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: without pay and he can no longer cover Indianapolis Fever 472 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: WNBA teams in person because what he did with Kaitlin Clark. 473 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: If you remember the Kaitlin Clark introductory news conference, he 474 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: was there and he was talking about the fact that 475 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: she made a heart shape with her hands and she 476 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: says she does it because of her parents there, and 477 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: Clark says, do you like that? And Doyle came back 478 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: and says, yeah, I like that. I like that you here, 479 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,719 Speaker 1: I like that you're here, okay, And Clark comes back 480 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: and says, yeah, I do that to my family every game. 481 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. So Doyle comes back and says, well, 482 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: start doing it to me and we'll get along just fine. 483 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 1: What is he a creep? I mean, come on? Well, 484 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: I mean and now the Indianapolis Star is saying that, yeah, 485 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: he could cover the indian Indiana Fever games only on TV. 486 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: He can't go to the games in person, all right, 487 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: So what are you gonna do? You're gonna keep the guys? 488 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: Should he get fired? What's the why would someone do that? 489 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: I mean, what he wouldn't do it to a guy. 490 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: I mean, if if the guy did that to his parents, 491 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: made a heart, what do you do that to the guy? 492 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 2: Know? 493 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: What did he try to? Is he trying to hit 494 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: on Caitlyn Clark. I don't get it. Why don't people 495 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,719 Speaker 1: do stupid things another knucklehead? 496 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would just say it's kind of creepy behavior, 497 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 2: you know, obviously, like she's super popular. The way that 498 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 2: it came off, it was so awkward watching the presser. 499 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 2: It's just a creepy thing. And when you think about 500 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 2: harassment and all those other things, like is Kaylyn Clark 501 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,959 Speaker 2: ever gonna be comfortable in his presence because it's just creepy, 502 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 2: you know, and you want to protect athletes from creepy behavior. 503 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: And the Indian apl Star should have punished Doyle for 504 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 2: his behavior. It was over the line and even though 505 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 2: it wasn't overtly, it just felt slimy and slicy. Yeah, yeah, 506 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 2: so he needed to be dealt with in those things. 507 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: And look at it's costly because Kayln Clark is good 508 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 2: for business. I mean she's blocked. I mean, look, she's 509 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 2: a box office. He's blockbuster when it comes to the 510 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 2: amount of fans and the amount of attention that she 511 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 2: commands the fact that he's been knocked off that beat 512 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 2: that hurts him. 513 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: Right, I wouldn't be surprised if they fire him. I 514 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: think that he may it fired. 515 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 2: I mean, the only thing, you know, yeah, the only 516 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 2: thing I'll say is like, he's too good in other 517 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 2: areas to quote unquote get fired. I think this was 518 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 2: doing Warner shot and unless he had like a list 519 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 2: of prior behaviors that were similar to this, right, I 520 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 2: think you can have a little grace on him a 521 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 2: punish him, but don't necessarily fire. 522 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: I'm with you there. You know, he's a hell of 523 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 1: a writer, and years before he went to the Indianapolis Star, 524 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: he was doing some talk radio in Cincinnati. He's a 525 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,959 Speaker 1: good guy. I don't know what made him go off 526 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: the deep end with this, and I think he was 527 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: just trying to be cute. I don't think he's To 528 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: her credit, she never said anything about it. I mean, 529 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if media came through and said what 530 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 1: do you think about that? But she didn't come out 531 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: with any statement saying let me go, it's not a 532 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: big deal. She said nothing. 533 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 2: She give her credit. She's been a star for a 534 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 2: long time. She's dealt with all kinds of stuff, and 535 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 2: she's really handled herself well in front of the media 536 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 2: every time you've seen her, So I'm sure it's not 537 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 2: the first time that she's gotten some weird, weirdo stuff. 538 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 2: But it's just kind of weird. And let's let's be honest, 539 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 2: because in my mind I still see Kaitlyn Clark as 540 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 2: not a kid. But look, she's a young girl, he's 541 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 2: an older man. It's just some real creepy about it all. 542 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 1: And if that was your daughter, you'd be upset, right, 543 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: he's fucking Brooks.

And these are great players. I love watching 594 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: these guys play. I love reading Greg Oil in the 595 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: Midianapolis Star. I really do. He's a hell of a writer. 596 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: But sometimes it's like a flick of a switch in 597 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: your brain and just it happens. I mean, you've seen it. 598 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: You played the game, you were in the NFL. You've 599 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: seen guys that are somewhat quiet, so spoken, and all 600 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 1: of a sudden, when the game goes on, the lights 601 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: go on, they go crazy, right Buck, you've seen it. 602 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure. 603 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, it happens. A different personality comes out, the competitive nature. 604 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 2: Can't ring about that. Frustration also brings about a different 605 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 2: side from players emotionally in those things. Yeah, Jamalmer, everything 606 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 2: was crazy to watch firsthand. I mean I kind of 607 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 2: get it, but I kind of don't. Like I don't 608 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 2: know why he threw the heapad there. I mean, if 609 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 2: you have if you have a scene, just go have 610 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 2: a scene. Go have a conversation. Get thrown out that way. 611 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 2: To me, it was like real passive, aggressive and really 612 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 2: another immature act from a player. Did you kind of 613 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 2: expect more from. 614 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: Have you seen anybody teammates of yours or maybe an 615 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: opponent someone just flipping out and going nuts? Have you 616 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: seen that? 617 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 2: I mean, we're all prone to those moments, you know. 618 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 2: I al wonst say it's part of the sport, but 619 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 2: we all prone to kind of lose are cool at times. 620 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 2: It's just in the playoffs like this is when you 621 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 2: want kind of everyone to be button up, everyone to 622 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 2: be together and those things, and it's different. It's just 623 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 2: different to see these guys act like this. 624 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say this, I'm not picking on athletes. I mean, 625 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: obviously we're in a sports arena right now, we talk 626 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: about sports, but it happens to everybody. I'll give you 627 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: an example. I worked at a great radio station in 628 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: Cincinnati for seven eighteen years seventeen or eighteen years, seven 629 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: hundred WLW radio, great station. It really is fifty thousand 630 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: wats goes to thirty eight states at night. And I 631 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: said a couple of stupid things, I mean, upset a 632 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: lot of people, and one day the general manager called 633 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: me in his office may he rest in peace. And 634 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: he threw a telephone at me. I mean, they apologize, 635 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: but you know, he was crazy. I mean, maybe I 636 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: should have called an attorney. Maybe I would have owned 637 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: the station. I don't know, but I did. I that 638 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: was my head between my legs and that was the 639 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: end of it. But I didn't get fired, thank goodness. 640 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: But he threw a phone at me, said are you crazy? 641 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, because you were afraid they were 642 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: going to lose the contract. We had the Cincinnati Reds 643 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: on our station and the Cincinnati Bengals. And I said 644 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: something I think stupid about the Bengals, and they were 645 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: upset that they looked they were going to lose the contract. 646 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: And that was that's the big deal back then. And 647 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: he got crazy and it's all about money, you know, 648 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: And he picked out the phone off his desk and 649 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: he tossed at me. So that was the end of that. 650 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: But you know, people they freak out. It happened sometimes. 651 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I had a bad night. I 652 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: just don't know. Who knows. But I will say this, 653 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: this is pretty creative, Okay. I'm talking about the cornerback prospect, 654 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: the Cooper Degene of Iowa and now I was with 655 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles when he was at Iowa. He was 656 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: at Iowa cornerback. He said he thought he could be 657 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark in a game of one on one. So 658 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: I think the guys maybe trying to, you know, piggyback 659 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: off her name. Perhaps, I don't know. He was a 660 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: star player in high school, right, And he said that 661 00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: he could beat her one on one. He was on 662 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: a the ulpen Atoms of the podcast and said, she 663 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: texted me said she doesn't think that I could beat it, 664 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: is what Degene said, And he said he has almostly 665 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: spect for Kaitlin. He'd left to get on the court 666 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: for a game of one on one, and then he 667 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: doubled down. He said, he still thinks you could beat her. 668 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: The number one pick in the WNBA draft. I think 669 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: this would be a great thing. On one I don't 670 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: really care who wins. I think she probably will. But 671 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: why don't they do it for charity and put it 672 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: on TV? 673 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you had two Iowa standouts. You certainly 674 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 2: culd raise a lot of money in town. You know, 675 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 2: you're like thinking that the locals will come out to 676 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 2: kind of see that and have a lot of fun 677 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 2: with it. I will tell you he's one of the 678 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 2: best athletes that Iowa has ever seen in high school. 679 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 2: Not only is a great basketball player, but he's an 680 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 2: outstanding track and field athlete stay champion, maybe in the 681 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 2: hundred and maybe the two hundred. Don't quote me on that, 682 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 2: but he has fantastic marks. One of the best athletes 683 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 2: in this draft class. So it would be fun to see. 684 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 2: He's certainly not as skilled as Kaitland Clark, but when 685 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 2: you have two iowould let ens, why not put them 686 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 2: together for look at charity event, right. 687 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: I don't think it's such a big deal that he 688 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: said that. I think he did it, maybe not so 689 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,479 Speaker 1: much in jest. I think he really believes he can 690 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: beat it. And I think that, you know, if it 691 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: was an offensive lineman, i'd left because I don't think 692 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: a lineman could do it because he's not as graceful, 693 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: he probably can't move as quick. But a cornerback, I 694 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: think this guy and he did play high school basketball, 695 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: and a good one at that. He probably could have 696 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: played basketball in Iowa, but he said he concentrated on football. 697 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: It could be a pretty good ball game. But as 698 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: you say, legends in the state of Iowa have it, 699 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: maybe at halftime during an an Iowa basketball game, So 700 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: I think they could raise some cash and do it. 701 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: And Caitlin was pretty good and getting back to him 702 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: at least and saying, I don't think he can beat me, 703 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: so let him play, but do it a halftime of 704 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: a fever game. 705 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 2: Well, look, I'm so sure it's not the first time 706 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 2: that he's gotten word of it. I am pretty sure. 707 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 2: Like back in the day, all the athletes eat at 708 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 2: the same spy right you had training table and some 709 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 2: form or that still exists. It is not the first 710 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 2: time that a football player his talk slick to Caitlin Clark. 711 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 2: I'm sure Cooper Dejean has said that to her before 712 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 2: in the lunch line, you know, in a playful joking manner. 713 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 2: But I'm sure he's done it. I mean, going all 714 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 2: the way back to when I was in school, like 715 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 2: the football team and the women's basketball team would always 716 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 2: go back and forth. Sometimes you would see those ladies 717 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 2: in the gym and everyone is playing pickup and getting 718 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 2: after it. It's kind of a part of the deal. 719 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 2: So I'm not surprised to hear him challenge her to 720 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 2: a little one on one. 721 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: You know, I'm a little lot out of the mainstream 722 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: right now. I got to ask you a question, because 723 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: you know what's going on. Do they still have athletic 724 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: dorms in college? A separate dorm for the athletes? 725 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 2: They put them all together. They're places that are you know, 726 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 2: they kind of lean. They prefer the athletes to stay. 727 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 2: But it's not like the seventies and eighties where the 728 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 2: athletes are all in one dorm. They have different housing 729 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 2: alternatives in those things. But every campus is also different. 730 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 2: I think they most most team most universities programs, they 731 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 2: kind of intermingle the athletic teams for the regular student population. 732 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,800 Speaker 1: I tell you why I asked that because when I 733 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: was the sports information guy at Old Roberts University, Yes, 734 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: I worked for the Reverend Roberts for two years. 735 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 2: It was great. 736 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: The athletes is the basketball team, baseball team, they were 737 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,359 Speaker 1: all in one doing the athletic doom and they had 738 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it was unbelievable. They had the greatest meals 739 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: in the world. So I was a single guy, young guy. 740 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: I would eating the athletic doom with those guys almost 741 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: every night. But I had no idea that you know, 742 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: they're getting billed for it. So the athletic threat that 743 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: called me in when they said, you know, you really 744 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: got to back off a little bit. I'd go there 745 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: five days a week. I mean they were getting steaks. 746 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: Oh j they're getting steaks. 747 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:44,399 Speaker 2: Stair way. 748 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: You go to the cafeteria. Do you get a tuna 749 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 1: fish sandwich? You know, a blt. I'm going to the 750 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: athletic doom. I'm getting steak and mashed potatoes and the 751 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: whole deal as much as you want. So I'd go 752 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: down there, you know, four or five days a week. 753 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: So the ad called me in his office, and don't 754 00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: forget off the athletic or the Bob Brooks good man. 755 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: It really was, he says, a big southern drawling landy. 756 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: You got to back off just a little bit. You know, 757 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: I'm getting these bills from the athletic them. You're eating 758 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: down there every day. But I wasn't know if they 759 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: still have that. 760 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 2: It was. 761 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it was good for me because I got 762 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: to meet the athletes pretty good, and you get to 763 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: know who they are, and they trusted me and I 764 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 1: could get some stories on these guys. So it was good, 765 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: but I didn't realize that they didn't even know if 766 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 1: they still have athletic domes anymore. Who knows, I don't. 767 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's changed a little bit, just like the traditional 768 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 2: training table has changed. Where it used to be one 769 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,839 Speaker 2: designated area where all the athletes had to eat. Then 770 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 2: it became able to give you a meal card and 771 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 2: let you go all over campus. Right, So it's changed. 772 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 2: They've continued to progress how they grew about feeding the 773 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 2: athletes and also the living situation. When I was in school, 774 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 2: we didn't necessarily have one athletic dorm, but the athletes 775 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 2: were given like three or four choices of where you 776 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 2: wanted to live, especially as a freshman, and that continued 777 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 2: to change as you got older. You could pick other 778 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 2: dorms to go to, but you didn't have just a 779 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 2: one designated dorm for athletes. 780 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: All right, I hear all right, I'm glad. I'm glad 781 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: I was there at the time when I was there 782 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: because the stakes were pretty good.

But let's go here we go. 792 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: Ask Bucky now a combination question here. You're a pick. 793 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: You're an NBA general manager. 794 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 2: You u pick? 795 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: Who do you take? Jalen Brunson, the new superstar in 796 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,760 Speaker 1: the NBA, or Jason Tatum. 797 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 2: Oh that's easy. I'm gonna take Jason Tatum. You always 798 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:59,800 Speaker 2: go with bigger, faster, stronger. Always he's longer, he's more dynamic. 799 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 2: I love Jason Jenden Brunson's greediness and toughness, but you 800 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 2: always have to have size over the other stuff. 801 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,359 Speaker 1: All right, I didn't think you'd go that way. Okay, 802 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: I'll give you another one. Donovan Mitchell or Jimmy Butler buckets. 803 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 2: M I love Jimmy Butler and as I got, Dan 804 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 2: Byrd knows I'm a Miami heat fans. So I'm gonna 805 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 2: go with Jimmy Buckets. 806 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: You know, that's a tough one because I think Mitchell's 807 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: up and coming superstar and Butler's getting hurt lately, So 808 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 1: I think I may have gone with Mitchell. I don't know. 809 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: All right, here's one for you. Name an NFL team 810 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 1: that missed the playoffs last year, and we'll probably get 811 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: in the playoffs this year. 812 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 2: Mm Now, does that include play in or as long 813 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 2: as the postseason? 814 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: As long as you're in the postseason? 815 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 2: Okay, they they're out, but they will make it this year. 816 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 2: So let's go with the Uh, let's go to Charlotte 817 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 2: Hornets because that's the only team I can think of 818 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 2: right now. The NFL is Charlotte Hornets. Oh NFL, I 819 00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 2: thought you were talking about.

Not now, I don't think 826 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: the Bengals. I don't think they go to the playoffs. Now, 827 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: all right, here's the deal. Are you four or against 828 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 1: NFL games on Christmas Day? 829 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 2: Oh? On for it? I am all for it. Now 830 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 2: this this year is weird because I think it falls 831 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:34,320 Speaker 2: on a Wednesday, But I am all for the NFL. 832 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 6: Uh. 833 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 2: It used to be an NBA holiday. That was when 834 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 2: kind of the NBA dating to the public. But yeah, 835 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 2: the the NFL is eating that up. And uh, what's 836 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 2: better than to celebrate the holiday with football on all day? 837 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 2: And should be a triple header. Two. I want people 838 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,359 Speaker 2: all day, just like just like we treat Thanksgiving same thing. 839 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 2: I want. I want it all day. 840 00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 1: Hey, here's the question. I thought that they were going 841 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 1: to release the schedule last week, and now they're going 842 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: to do it this week the schedule reveal. I think 843 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: one of the hold ups is in fact the Christmas 844 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: Day situation, because, as you say, it's on a midweek. 845 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: They may try to move those games maybe to a Friday, 846 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: but it won't be Christmas. What do you think is 847 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 1: that possible? 848 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 2: I mean it could be possible, but also could be 849 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 2: possible that they are maybe working on a deal for 850 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 2: new broadcast partners for those Christmas games, and so maybe 851 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 2: all that stuff because I have read discovered about that. 852 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 2: Maybe Netflix and some other people are trying to get in. 853 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 2: Maybe they're they're trying to seal that off. Yeah, maybe 854 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 2: they're trying to sell that off to be able to 855 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,839 Speaker 2: get it done. Let me, Andy, more is better? 856 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: Yeah? 857 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 2: Better? 858 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,800 Speaker 1: I'm hearing you. I know, I hear you. Okay. The 859 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: biggest surprise this year in the NBA Playoffs the New 860 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: York Knicks, Oklahoma City, Cleveland Calves or Minnesota Timberwolves. M 861 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,240 Speaker 1: bigger story, I would say surprise, biggest surprise. 862 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,439 Speaker 2: Maybe bigger surprise. I would say the Minnesota Timberwolves only 863 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 2: because it's been a revelation for ant man Anthony Edwards 864 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 2: and then watching Karl Anthony Towns and those guys kind 865 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 2: of do their thing that has been interesting. So yeah, 866 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 2: the Minnesota Timberwolves. 867 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. I like what they're doing against Denver. 868 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: I would want to see him take them out. But 869 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: I little upset that they're comparing Anthony Edwards. You're ready 870 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: to MJ, I mean back off a little bit? Will 871 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: you back off? Just to drop? All right?

You probably 893 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: have to get reservations six months in advance to get 894 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 1: into a restaurant on a day like today. I'm sure 895 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: of it. 896 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 2: It's bad. Yeah. The most popular holiday in the eating 897 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 2: restaurant industry. Yeah, so it's gonna be tough to get 898 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 2: tough to get a seat anywhere, right. 899 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. I was listening to the Sports Update at top 900 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: of the hour and it was great because he had 901 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,800 Speaker 1: Dan Bayer doing it. He was told about that Celtics 902 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: win yesterday one O six ninety three over the Cavaliers 903 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 1: to go two up in the series against Cleveland, and 904 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,439 Speaker 1: I heard I think it was a Jalen Brown who said, 905 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 1: we didn't come to Cleveland for the weather. I love that. 906 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:05,320 Speaker 1: I love that attitude, you know, you know, the intensity, 907 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 1: you know. And it's funny because you talk about this 908 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: inconsistency of the of the Boston Celtics, and what do 909 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 1: I mean by that. I mean this team right now, 910 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 1: in twenty eight home playoff games, they are fourteen and fourteen, 911 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: but now they're eighteen and seven on the road. So 912 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 1: basically they get it done on the road. And that's tough. 913 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,840 Speaker 1: It's tough in the in the NBA, it really is. 914 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: I mean the Celtics, they've been the best team in 915 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: the NBA. They have over the last three years. They 916 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 1: made the finals in twenty twenty two. The average fifty 917 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 1: seven wins a year and their East playoff seeds and 918 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: those seasons are two, two and one, and they want 919 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 1: to watch sixty four games this past year. But they've 920 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,280 Speaker 1: got unpredictable. They got popped the other day in against 921 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 1: Cleveland and now they came back. So I think that 922 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,799 Speaker 1: still they're everybody's favorite. I think to still win it all. 923 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: But you just don't know what you get. But when 924 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,760 Speaker 1: I hear a guy saying we didn't come to Cleveland 925 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 1: because of the weather, I love that. I mean, he's hungry. 926 00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,840 Speaker 1: They want to win. They gotta win. They really do. 927 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, they definitely want to win. And here's what I 928 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,920 Speaker 2: will say about all of it. The Boston Celtics have 929 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 2: had their heartbroken a few different times. Like they've been 930 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 2: This team has been together five six years with Jayden 931 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 2: Brown and Jason Tatum, so they've been through the ups 932 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,839 Speaker 2: and downs. They've gotten close, but they haven't been able 933 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 2: to finish it. That experience matters. They're more grizzled team. 934 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 2: They're really connected. Their style can kind of sometimes lead 935 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 2: other teams to have good days against them because they're 936 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 2: sober lint on the three point shot and when it's 937 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 2: not going, it allows the game flow to kind of 938 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 2: go back to the opponent's way. But this is a 939 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 2: talented team, the most talented team in the NBA from 940 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,879 Speaker 2: top to bottom. Their rosters well constructed, and so it's 941 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,320 Speaker 2: all them to be able to get it done. But 942 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:49,839 Speaker 2: this should be the year that they get it done. 943 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:51,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think they will. I really do. And I 944 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 1: think that you talk about the team that is defending 945 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,479 Speaker 1: the championship their Denver, I think they're a little rocky 946 00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 1: right now. Against Minnesota, I mean they found some flows, 947 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 1: but the timber will those defense has been unbelievable, tremendous defense. 948 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,879 Speaker 1: I haven't seen defense in that that in the NBA 949 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 1: like that in the years. A great defense with Minnesota 950 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 1: great and they've been pretty good games. If I have 951 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 1: one downer as far as I'm concerned with these players 952 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: right now, I still think they're a little too long. 953 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: I like to see these series and they'd be a 954 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 1: little more exciting if they were best three out of 955 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 1: five instead of four out of seven. 956 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 2: I mean, you'll see more upsets. But is that what 957 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,399 Speaker 2: you want? Well, you know, I want three out of five. 958 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:28,840 Speaker 2: Three out of five is tough. 959 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,560 Speaker 1: It's real tough, but you know, what the less less 960 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 1: games would be less opportunity for injury because these guys 961 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 1: are going down like flies right now. You know, Luca 962 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 1: got hurt yesterday and he's gonna play, but he was 963 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 1: limping around and seeing these guys are twisting ankles and 964 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 1: getting bumped in And the physicalness of this game it's 965 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: like football, I mean really and truly. The bumping and 966 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 1: grinding and banging, it's unbelievable. Really officiating, you know, I'm 967 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 1: not gonna knock it, but it's tough. It's tough to 968 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 1: officiate these games. The games is so fast, so quick, 969 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 1: and it's like you got to make those calls, you know, 970 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 1: you got to really do it. And h there's a 971 00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,880 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of pushing and shoving. It really is. 972 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of pushing and shoving now. And I'll 973 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 2: say this, this was a college game. I went to one. 974 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,280 Speaker 2: I went to the Sweet sixteen to see North Carolina 975 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 2: take on Alabama. I was amazed at how physical the 976 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 2: games were. And if that's at the collegiate level, I 977 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 2: can only imagine how much more physical it is in 978 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 2: the NBA and how the intensity and the physicality ramps 979 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 2: up as you advanced through the postseason. So now these 980 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,959 Speaker 2: guys are playing, I mean like this is game point 981 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,400 Speaker 2: at the park. No files, They're just kind of beating 982 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 2: people up, and you have to get used to what 983 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 2: it looks like. The entire regular season they played one 984 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 2: way is free flowing or whatever, and now it's kind 985 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 2: of grounded to a halt, like where you're really having 986 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,440 Speaker 2: to work per possession. Yeah, that's made it ug. They 987 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,440 Speaker 2: made a different product to watch for sure, no. 988 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 1: Doubt about that. Now now I'm gonna talk about Bucky 989 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 1: Brooks's bread and butter. Which is the NFL. Not that 990 00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:00,120 Speaker 1: you don't know sports, you do your sports, god what 991 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 1: you really are, but the NFL and you write NFL 992 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 1: dot Com. I say this time and time again. I mean, 993 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,359 Speaker 1: if you don't see this on Friday, you don't punch 994 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 1: it up on NFL dot Com and scroll down to 995 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 1: the Riders and see buckets beautiful face, then you're crazy 996 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,880 Speaker 1: because what he writes is is just you got to 997 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,360 Speaker 1: gobble it up and read it. And this week was 998 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,760 Speaker 1: kind of interesting because you had the top five past 999 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 1: catching groups in the NFL, and I got to ask you, 1000 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,200 Speaker 1: how do you decide on which are the top five 1001 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 1: past catching groups and which is weighted heavier in your decision, 1002 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,880 Speaker 1: the receiver or the quarterback. 1003 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, the quarterback is a part of it 1004 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,480 Speaker 2: because they're the point guard, but ultimately it's the people 1005 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:42,240 Speaker 2: that put it in the hole. And what you're seeing 1006 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 2: is teams are really invested in their receiver corse and 1007 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 2: doing all kinds of different stuff to kind of make it, 1008 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,239 Speaker 2: to create mismatches, to exploit mismatches and those things. And 1009 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 2: so I think the most important part is really the 1010 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:02,320 Speaker 2: complementary fits of the playmakers on the perimeter. How do 1011 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 2: they match up. You don't want all of them to 1012 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,239 Speaker 2: be exactly the same. You're like a quick guy, a 1013 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,800 Speaker 2: bigger guy, someone that's in the middle that can be 1014 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 2: a route runner, and you want to see him go. 1015 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,319 Speaker 2: But this was really really difficult because the landscape has 1016 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,239 Speaker 2: changed so much at wide receiver that it certainly has 1017 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 2: impacted the way that I look at these past casting duos. 1018 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and let's start right now. You said the Miami 1019 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 1: Dolphins basically other number one of past catching groups, and 1020 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 1: you know, I can't disagree. I mean, they got Tyreek 1021 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,720 Speaker 1: Hill and Jalen Waddle and now they just signed Odell 1022 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,080 Speaker 1: Beckham Junior, which I think is gonna help. It's not 1023 00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,000 Speaker 1: going to be pushing them over the top, because I 1024 00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,880 Speaker 1: think with Hill and Waddle they've been right there anyway. 1025 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,920 Speaker 1: But Beckham's going to be the third guy. He'll be 1026 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,319 Speaker 1: the third receiver there. But you know, with two of there, 1027 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,560 Speaker 1: I think this is going to be an explosive situation 1028 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:51,880 Speaker 1: that combined for like about eighty seven pass plays as 1029 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 1: you wrote last year, twenty plus yards. Since he'll arrive 1030 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,319 Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty two, So yeah, I can't argue 1031 00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 1: with that. So Miami Dolphins number one? Was it the 1032 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,200 Speaker 1: toughest for you to get the Dolphins number one? 1033 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 2: It was tough because the next team, the Philadelphia Eagles, 1034 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,440 Speaker 2: are right there nipping on their heels. Everything that I 1035 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,400 Speaker 2: can say about the Miami Dolphins, I could say the 1036 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 2: same thing about the Philadelphia Eagles. When it comes to 1037 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,279 Speaker 2: the top two weapons, AJ Brown and Devonte Smith. Both 1038 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,240 Speaker 2: guys have gone back to back over one thousand yards. 1039 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 2: AJ Brown has been terrific as the code number one, 1040 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 2: but then Devonte Smith has had an opportunity to feel 1041 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,440 Speaker 2: in as the number one when AJ Brown has not 1042 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,240 Speaker 2: been available, and he has also been outstanding. The difference 1043 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,839 Speaker 2: between the two could come down to basically Obj being 1044 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,920 Speaker 2: the number three receiver compared to Dallas Goddard being the 1045 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,960 Speaker 2: third option in the passing game as a tied end 1046 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 2: over the middle of the field. That was the difference. 1047 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,799 Speaker 2: So I gave Obj the not but just a slight 1048 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,480 Speaker 2: advantage in terms of the Miami Dolphins over the Philadelphi Egles. 1049 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 1: Okay, now I'm gonna make a little tough because you 1050 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 1: know it's just getting really easy for you. I'm going 1051 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:54,759 Speaker 1: to make it tough for you. Make it earn your 1052 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,080 Speaker 1: keep there, Bucket Brooks. Let's talk about this for a second. 1053 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,719 Speaker 1: I hear you. You got one A and one Philadelphia 1054 00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 1: Eagles one A and you guys the Dolphins one. What 1055 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:08,560 Speaker 1: would happen if you switch quarterbacks? If Jalen Hirts was 1056 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,440 Speaker 1: quarterback in the Dolphins and two was quarterback in the Eagles, 1057 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 1: would you still have the same one two punch one 1058 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:15,920 Speaker 1: in one A? Would it be the same for you? 1059 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,560 Speaker 2: I mean like it could, but then the style of 1060 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,319 Speaker 2: play would have to change because Jalen Hurst's strengths are 1061 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,760 Speaker 2: different than two at tanga by Lawd's strimps, Jalen Hurts 1062 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 2: gives you the ability to do some things on the ground. 1063 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,160 Speaker 2: So I'm sure Mike McDaniel would tap into those parts 1064 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,440 Speaker 2: of his game as well. I still would put the 1065 00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,759 Speaker 2: pass catching groups. I still would have them the same 1066 00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 2: because I think from a talent standpoint, they're more talented 1067 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,920 Speaker 2: at the lower part of the roster, meaning wide receiver three, 1068 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 2: four and five than those guys. And that's the decide 1069 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,239 Speaker 2: in fact, because we can say that those other guys 1070 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 2: cancel each other out AJ Brown and DeVante Smith. They 1071 00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,760 Speaker 2: canceled out the impacts of Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle, 1072 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,920 Speaker 2: So now it's about who's remaining. Who are your other pieces? 1073 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,680 Speaker 2: And I just believe more in the Miami Dolphins other 1074 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:06,680 Speaker 2: pieces than the Eagles. 1075 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,160 Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying, okay, And I think that 1076 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,840 Speaker 1: also the Dolphins rely more on the passing game than 1077 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,360 Speaker 1: the Eagles. Eagles really I remember not last year, but 1078 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 1: the season prior to. At the halfway point, there was 1079 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 1: some problems on the offense, and they started banging it 1080 00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,520 Speaker 1: out on the ground and they did a great running game. 1081 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,400 Speaker 1: That's what they did. They kind of went away from 1082 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,320 Speaker 1: the passing game a little bit isn't that true. 1083 00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,440 Speaker 2: It is true. They went away from it for a 1084 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 2: little bit, but it's still the threat of the playmakers 1085 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,239 Speaker 2: on the perimeter that matters. And so you're just evaluating 1086 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 2: the playmakers and that so style of play factors in, 1087 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,080 Speaker 2: but from a talent standpoint, from a production standpoint, you 1088 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,160 Speaker 2: still got to lean on what you have on the perimeter. 1089 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:49,160 Speaker 1: All right, Number three, I'm not going to say I'm 1090 00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,920 Speaker 1: shocked at it, but I'm somewhat surprised that all of 1091 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,280 Speaker 1: a sudden this team has become not only the darlings 1092 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 1: of the National Football League, but a contender. They're talking 1093 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,920 Speaker 1: about them as being a contender, saying of the Houston 1094 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 1: Texans because the addition to Stefan Diks is a is 1095 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,560 Speaker 1: a big deal. Stefan Diggs coming in there is big. 1096 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,680 Speaker 1: But you know, if you're CJ. Stroud, you got to 1097 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 1: be thanking the stars above because comes into the league 1098 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,680 Speaker 1: and look what he's got to work with. Right now, 1099 00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,080 Speaker 1: this team really and truly is a contender. They really are. 1100 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 2: They are a continent and their contender because he gave 1101 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,320 Speaker 2: them the ability to imagine themselves as a contender. C J. 1102 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,440 Speaker 2: Stroud's surprise and play as a rookie has enabled the 1103 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,279 Speaker 2: front office to be like, oh, we need to step 1104 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 2: it up because we got a special quarterback. And when 1105 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,400 Speaker 2: you get a special quarterback, you want to surround him 1106 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,120 Speaker 2: with the special pieces that allows him to play at 1107 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:44,480 Speaker 2: his best. And the window was short and small considering 1108 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,319 Speaker 2: how much they can pay on the perimeter because they 1109 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,240 Speaker 2: have him on his rookie deal. Once he gets paid, 1110 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,440 Speaker 2: you now have to usher in younger players to do it. 1111 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,400 Speaker 2: But what I like about the Texans and Stefan Diggs 1112 00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,719 Speaker 2: and Nico Collins and even tang Deal, they all are 1113 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:07,120 Speaker 2: different and they're interchangeable styles. They're complimentary styles really kind 1114 00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,320 Speaker 2: of completes this Taxans passing attack. And then when you 1115 00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,279 Speaker 2: throw Dalton Schultz in there, they have four different type 1116 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:17,279 Speaker 2: pass catchers that they can lean on depending on circumstances 1117 00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 2: situation to be able to get it done. But in digs, 1118 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,040 Speaker 2: you talk about a guy who was in the eight 1119 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,680 Speaker 2: hundred catch club, a guy who has like six straight 1120 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 2: one thousand yard seasons, Nico Collins coming off a breakout 1121 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,239 Speaker 2: year where he had well over one thousand yards and 1122 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,160 Speaker 2: was dominated on the perimeter with big plays, and tang 1123 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,920 Speaker 2: Dale for the time that he was on the field, 1124 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,920 Speaker 2: he was an unstoppable force as a big play weapon. 1125 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 2: I mean, there are a lot of playmakers, and maybe 1126 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:43,560 Speaker 2: I make the argum maybe I should have put the 1127 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,319 Speaker 2: Texans up even higher than I did, But to put 1128 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,640 Speaker 2: him at three, I mean, this is really this is 1129 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,839 Speaker 2: a really good outfit. This is a really good unit. 1130 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Nico Collins for a second. He's got 1131 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,280 Speaker 1: pretty good size by six four, as you say, two fifteen. 1132 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,680 Speaker 1: But here's the deal. He played for Michigan, which really 1133 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,520 Speaker 1: and truly not a great passing ball club. You know, 1134 00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:08,200 Speaker 1: how surprised were you that that even this team drafted 1135 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,520 Speaker 1: him and what he's done in the National Football League 1136 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,880 Speaker 1: and not going to go back to Tank Dell. Certainly, 1137 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, he had a good year, no doubt about that, 1138 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,120 Speaker 1: a real good year, but again, not playing at a 1139 00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,360 Speaker 1: major I hate to say that, but it's really Houston 1140 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,600 Speaker 1: was not really a major deal. Now they're in the 1141 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,000 Speaker 1: Big twelve for sure, and they're going to compete because 1142 00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,720 Speaker 1: when you're in a better conference, you attract better players. 1143 00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,120 Speaker 1: But at the time, I don't think Houston, when you 1144 00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,200 Speaker 1: consider them a major college football power. 1145 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,759 Speaker 2: They weren't a major in football power. But you saw 1146 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,880 Speaker 2: the flashes, and the flashes were tang Deal. Just the athleticism, 1147 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,120 Speaker 2: the playmaking ability to to showed when he got his 1148 00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 2: hands on the ball in those things and a lot 1149 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,319 Speaker 2: A big part of success in the National Football League 1150 00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,160 Speaker 2: for players depends on can I go to a system 1151 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:57,000 Speaker 2: that really fits my skill set? And for tang Deal, 1152 00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,640 Speaker 2: they put him in a role as a you know, 1153 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 2: slot receiver, as a big play specialist. That worked for him. 1154 00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,680 Speaker 2: He was averaging over fifteen yards to catch prior to 1155 00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:10,120 Speaker 2: his injury. In Nico Collins, what you had is someone 1156 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 2: from Michigan who was a terrific what we call hightwaight 1157 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:19,080 Speaker 2: speed athlete, great size over sixty four two fifteen speed, 1158 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,480 Speaker 2: fast enough to be able to run past defenders on 1159 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 2: the perimeter, and then just the strength, like when you 1160 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,200 Speaker 2: have that size that comes with some strength to it 1161 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:27,759 Speaker 2: that allows you to kind of be a bully on 1162 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,800 Speaker 2: the perimeter. He's dominated and it took him two years 1163 00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:32,960 Speaker 2: for it to kind of work, and then his third 1164 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,040 Speaker 2: year he had to break out season. But you're talking 1165 00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,520 Speaker 2: about a guy that had over twelve hundred yards who 1166 00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:42,239 Speaker 2: really thrived as the number one receiver. You put him 1167 00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:45,920 Speaker 2: opposite of Stefan Diggs. Now the defenders have to make 1168 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,400 Speaker 2: a choice, who's the number one guy? Who should we stop? 1169 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,320 Speaker 2: Who should we tilt the covers to. It just should 1170 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,319 Speaker 2: open up the field for CJ. Stroud, And I would 1171 00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:55,319 Speaker 2: think that he would even have more success this season 1172 00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 2: than last season because he's more comfortable and he has 1173 00:54:58,040 --> 00:54:59,600 Speaker 2: a better supporting cast on the perimeter. 1174 00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,239 Speaker 1: I unbelieve. Look, you got this team ranked fourth is 1175 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,640 Speaker 1: the best pass catching combination. And if you would have 1176 00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,919 Speaker 1: told me this a year or so ago, I would 1177 00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,000 Speaker 1: I would have laughed. I really would have. This is 1178 00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 1: amazing to me. The Chicago Bears. The Chicago Bears, I 1179 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 1: mean really interested wide receivers on the base. This will 1180 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,160 Speaker 1: make Sid Luckman proud, you know. To me, Sid Luckman 1181 00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,120 Speaker 1: was the last time they had a decent quarterback. I 1182 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,200 Speaker 1: get it, they had a couple since you could even 1183 00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 1: throw Mitchell Trubisky in there. He was somewhat decent when 1184 00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 1: he played there. But now the Chicago Bears would pass catchers. 1185 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,919 Speaker 1: Come on, I know DJ Moore is gonna help, There's 1186 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,080 Speaker 1: no doubt about that. In Keenan Allen, but how do 1187 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:38,520 Speaker 1: you put the bears up there at four. 1188 00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,480 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, let's just talk about the talent that 1189 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 2: they accumulated. DJ Moore they got in a trade for 1190 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,840 Speaker 2: the number one overall pick, which has been great. That 1191 00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,640 Speaker 2: is the pick that keeps giving. So they get DJ Moore, 1192 00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 2: a number one receiver. They make a trade to get 1193 00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,160 Speaker 2: Keenan Allen, and then they draft a guy like Rome 1194 00:55:56,280 --> 00:56:00,400 Speaker 2: A Doomsday who is the perfect fit to go with 1195 00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,600 Speaker 2: those two guys because in DJ Moore you got to 1196 00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,440 Speaker 2: catch and run specialist, someone you just want to get 1197 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,320 Speaker 2: the ball to and let him go to work. Keenan 1198 00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 2: Allen is a route running specialist. I mean he is 1199 00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,359 Speaker 2: a route runner. He gets open, he works in the slot. 1200 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,400 Speaker 2: He can do a bunch of different things. Roma Dounze 1201 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,680 Speaker 2: is kind of a blend of both. He's a great 1202 00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,479 Speaker 2: route runner. He has size to win down the red zone. 1203 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:22,800 Speaker 2: He can make plays with the ball in his hands 1204 00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,719 Speaker 2: because he has pump return skills. You now have three 1205 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,600 Speaker 2: bigger guys on the perimeter that can dominate using their 1206 00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,560 Speaker 2: physicality and toughness. And then thinking about the city, because 1207 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,319 Speaker 2: remember it's important playing in Chicago, windy conditions, cold weather, 1208 00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 2: you need tough guys on the perimeter, big durable, physical 1209 00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,399 Speaker 2: guys that can hold up. Well, all of those guys 1210 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,719 Speaker 2: can do it. You throw in Cole Commet and we 1211 00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,120 Speaker 2: didn't even talk about Gerald Everett. But they have so 1212 00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:50,759 Speaker 2: many people that they can throw out there to have 1213 00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:52,439 Speaker 2: a lot of success. Yeah. I never would have thought 1214 00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,279 Speaker 2: that we would be talking about the Beyers as an 1215 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,799 Speaker 2: offense that could be like fun and explosive and all 1216 00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:00,359 Speaker 2: of that. But here's where we are when it comes 1217 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:01,080 Speaker 2: to their personnel. 1218 00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:05,080 Speaker 1: Okay, but there's one major question out there. Can Caleb 1219 00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,600 Speaker 1: Williams deliver the ball to them? That's the key right there. 1220 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,880 Speaker 1: I mean, they got the guys with the hands, they 1221 00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:11,799 Speaker 1: got the guys with the speed, but now they got 1222 00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,160 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback. Can he get it done with these guys? 1223 00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,640 Speaker 2: I mean I think so. I mean we haven't. I mean, look, 1224 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,720 Speaker 2: it's rare that guys hit the ground running coming into it. 1225 00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:24,919 Speaker 2: But there's no reason why he can't do what CJ. 1226 00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,040 Speaker 2: Stroud did. He has a terrific supporting cast around him. 1227 00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 2: A lot of it, though, will fall on the offense 1228 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,400 Speaker 2: coordinator Shane Walser kim waldon draw up an offense that 1229 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:37,960 Speaker 2: makes the game easy for Williams, but doesn't restrict him 1230 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,000 Speaker 2: where he loses some of that special ability. 1231 00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,880 Speaker 1: I hear and last, but not least number five with 1232 00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,640 Speaker 1: the pass catching combo the Seattle Seahawks tell me why 1233 00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 1: and who? 1234 00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 2: Well, this was a tough one man, because it came 1235 00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,360 Speaker 2: down to the Seattle Seahawks and the Ten Bay Buccaneers 1236 00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 2: for me, So its this combination versus Mike Evans, Chris 1237 00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:03,680 Speaker 2: got one and those guys the reason why the Seahawks 1238 00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:07,320 Speaker 2: got the nod. DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jackson Smith 1239 00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:12,160 Speaker 2: and Jigba are just like a really solid trio. You 1240 00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:16,440 Speaker 2: think about DK Metcalf, big fast, physical, really takes the 1241 00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:20,480 Speaker 2: top off the defense, just a big time playmaker being 1242 00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:23,400 Speaker 2: able to get it done. And Tyler Lockett and Smith 1243 00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:26,240 Speaker 2: and Jigba, these guys are very very similar in terms 1244 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,960 Speaker 2: of like they can win with speed and explosiveness or 1245 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:34,120 Speaker 2: they can win with like savvy as route runners. Lockett 1246 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,880 Speaker 2: is I would say kind of like dipping or coming 1247 00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:39,959 Speaker 2: back to the pack in terms of his talent because 1248 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 2: he's getting older, But Jackson Smith and Jigba is there 1249 00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:44,640 Speaker 2: to kind of jump into their role so their roles 1250 00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,640 Speaker 2: could actually flip where JSN becomes the number two and 1251 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,840 Speaker 2: Tyler Lockett becomes the number three. Regardless, all of that 1252 00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 2: really really works well and they fit together. The postal 1253 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,000 Speaker 2: pieces really fit, which is why gen Smith should have 1254 00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:00,360 Speaker 2: success when he's throwing out there. And one of the 1255 00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:04,320 Speaker 2: underrated additions to Mike McDonald's staff was being able to 1256 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:08,280 Speaker 2: get Ben Grubb to stay in the Pacific Northwest become 1257 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator after really dominated at UB. This offense 1258 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:17,080 Speaker 2: should have some really intriguing concepts and designs that allows 1259 00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:21,520 Speaker 2: a group of route runners to really explode on the 1260 00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:22,240 Speaker 2: rest of the league. 1261 00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:25,200 Speaker 1: How how close were the Cincinnati Bengals there in your 1262 00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:27,280 Speaker 1: top five because you said you have Tampa Bay and 1263 00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 1: Seattle kind of going for five? Where they did they 1264 00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:30,880 Speaker 1: make the top ten? No? 1265 00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,760 Speaker 2: So no, no, Cincinnati's right there. But here here's what 1266 00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,800 Speaker 2: I would say. Love the first two guys, t Higgins, 1267 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:43,120 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase. Who's next though, right, yeah, Tyler Board really 1268 00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,600 Speaker 2: really hurt him. And then tight end like like have 1269 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,280 Speaker 2: a dominant tight end over the middle of the field. 1270 00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,960 Speaker 2: So that's what left behind and you can make the 1271 00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:54,000 Speaker 2: argument that they should be there because the top two 1272 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,320 Speaker 2: two guys are so good but for me, I just 1273 00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,920 Speaker 2: felt like the depth of the other teams and other 1274 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,120 Speaker 2: areas just made it where you just had to put 1275 01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,040 Speaker 2: those guys in the conversation. There you go. 1276 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,720 Speaker 1: He's Bucky Brooks. Get him on NFL dot Com every Friday. 1277 01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,200 Speaker 1: He's got a column.

That's next is cockiness. Good well, 1286 01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,040 Speaker 1: we'll get to that in just about a minute. Good morning, everybody. 1287 01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,680 Speaker 1: This is Fox Sports Sunday at Fox Sports Radio. He 1288 01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,720 Speaker 1: is Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furman, who went live from 1289 01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 1: the Ti rack dot com studios. And you know why 1290 01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:48,000 Speaker 1: we talk about cockiness. I guess cockiness and confidence sort 1291 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:49,600 Speaker 1: of go hand in hand. I don't know. We'll go 1292 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,640 Speaker 1: about this number one draft pick of the Detroit Lions. 1293 01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:56,120 Speaker 1: Terry and Arnold play for Alabama. He arrived Friday at 1294 01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:59,600 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions practice facility, first day of rookie mini camp, 1295 01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:03,120 Speaker 1: and he was wearing bucka wearing a jersey number zero. 1296 01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:03,880 Speaker 5: All right. 1297 01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:06,800 Speaker 1: First round pick said he chose the number because, quote, 1298 01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:10,600 Speaker 1: ain't nobody like me, all right. He's just the third 1299 01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:14,400 Speaker 1: player in franchise history for the Lions to select number zero, 1300 01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,920 Speaker 1: joined the fullback Johnny Ozelski back in nineteen sixty one, 1301 01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:21,000 Speaker 1: Marvin Jones, the wide receiver back in twenty twenty three. 1302 01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,440 Speaker 1: And he says, quote, when I say it ain't nobody 1303 01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,480 Speaker 1: like me, it's talking about the secondary. This is what 1304 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,280 Speaker 1: he said. He said, Obviously, last year in this secondary 1305 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,000 Speaker 1: we had ups and downs. But we're going to be exciting. 1306 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 1: We're going to be dynamic, we're going to play fast, 1307 01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:36,480 Speaker 1: and it ain't going to be nobody like us. So 1308 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 1: when I say it ain't nobody like me, it ain't 1309 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,640 Speaker 1: nobody like me, all right. So I asked you this. 1310 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:46,400 Speaker 1: He picked number zero, and the reaction that he probably 1311 01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,560 Speaker 1: got from teammates, you played the game. You see a guy, 1312 01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,520 Speaker 1: a cocky rookie coming in there. There's one thing to 1313 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:55,680 Speaker 1: be confident, another thing to be cocky, and you gotta 1314 01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:58,200 Speaker 1: shake your head. I remember what Marvin Lewis said when 1315 01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:01,320 Speaker 1: he was coaching the Cincinnati Bengals. I see better than 1316 01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,200 Speaker 1: I hear. You know, sometimes it's just best to get 1317 01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,920 Speaker 1: your job done and show your cockiness and confidence on 1318 01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,440 Speaker 1: the field rather than with your mouth and tongue. 1319 01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:14,680 Speaker 2: Look, I don't mind it, because when you get to 1320 01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:18,720 Speaker 2: that level, like, it's really a mental game and it's 1321 01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:22,200 Speaker 2: your self belief, your determination and your resilience that determines 1322 01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,160 Speaker 2: whether you make it or not. Uh Fitterian And for 1323 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,400 Speaker 2: a lot of these young guys like that swag, particularly 1324 01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 2: if it's real, genuine swag in confidence, it is the 1325 01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:36,360 Speaker 2: difference between being good and great. And so I don't 1326 01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,800 Speaker 2: mind it. I don't mind a player having that as 1327 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:40,760 Speaker 2: long as they have the other things that you have 1328 01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,600 Speaker 2: to have from a football character standpoint and so and 1329 01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:49,440 Speaker 2: from football character we mean work ethic, toughness, the determination, 1330 01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,160 Speaker 2: the resilience to bounce back from poor moments. If you 1331 01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,960 Speaker 2: have all of those other things with the football IQ, 1332 01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:57,680 Speaker 2: oh yeah, you can bring all the confidence and swagger 1333 01:02:57,720 --> 01:02:59,520 Speaker 2: that you want because I know you're built the right way, 1334 01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:03,360 Speaker 2: and you're going to handle having the target on your chest. 1335 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:06,040 Speaker 2: You know, it's not going to bother you when people 1336 01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:07,720 Speaker 2: go at you because of what you say in the 1337 01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,960 Speaker 2: flamboyans that you may exhibit. So I'm okay with that. 1338 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 2: I never have a problem with players being like that, 1339 01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,520 Speaker 2: provided they go about their business the right way. 1340 01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,160 Speaker 1: All right. I would say this is a pretty good 1341 01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:23,439 Speaker 1: pick on pay. But because even though the Detroit Lions 1342 01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:25,520 Speaker 1: reached the NFC Championship Game for the first time last 1343 01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:29,320 Speaker 1: year since nineteen ninety one, their defense allowed thirty four 1344 01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:33,040 Speaker 1: completions thrown at least twenty yards downfield that I tied 1345 01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:35,480 Speaker 1: with the Houston Texans for the second most in the 1346 01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:39,600 Speaker 1: league behind the Cincinnati Bengals thirty five. And Detroit's defense 1347 01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:43,840 Speaker 1: also allowed twenty eight passing touchdowns last year that was 1348 01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,600 Speaker 1: the sixth worst in the league. And he says he 1349 01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:49,600 Speaker 1: wants to help fix those issues immediately. So you kind 1350 01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:52,240 Speaker 1: of like the attitude, But you know, the number thing, 1351 01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,640 Speaker 1: the zero, what's the deal with that these guys were 1352 01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,280 Speaker 1: in zero and number one? You know, if I'm in 1353 01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,320 Speaker 1: the locker room and I see this, I just like, 1354 01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,640 Speaker 1: you're hoockie man, you know, like, wait your turn. 1355 01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:07,720 Speaker 2: Nah, there's none of that in terms of uniform number. 1356 01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,080 Speaker 2: Here's here's what I'll say, having been one of those 1357 01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,600 Speaker 2: guys that wore single digit, I wore single digit digit 1358 01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:14,960 Speaker 2: in college, I wore number seven. 1359 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:17,800 Speaker 1: Why is there any special reasons? 1360 01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:22,800 Speaker 2: Well, like I wore twenty two forever, like coming up, 1361 01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:24,960 Speaker 2: that was my dad's number. My birthday is on the 1362 01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:26,760 Speaker 2: twenty second, so twenty two. 1363 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:28,720 Speaker 1: Clark's numbers twenty two. 1364 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,640 Speaker 2: Okay, But Caitlyn Clark maybe she wore twenty two because 1365 01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:35,480 Speaker 2: the bud don't know, but it was never a think. 1366 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,720 Speaker 2: But then seven became the number because everyone thinks about 1367 01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,800 Speaker 2: lucky seven. If you think about like the Good Book, 1368 01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:43,720 Speaker 2: like you think about the Bible, seven is the perfect 1369 01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:45,880 Speaker 2: number in the Bible. So for me, it had all 1370 01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,360 Speaker 2: of those meanings. But the single digit thing, you have 1371 01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,520 Speaker 2: to be a ball that to wear a single digit, like, 1372 01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:54,000 Speaker 2: you have to be a good player because there's a 1373 01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:56,720 Speaker 2: little extra that comes with doing that. And when you 1374 01:04:56,760 --> 01:05:00,600 Speaker 2: think about those numbers, number one and number zero, it's 1375 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:05,200 Speaker 2: even to another degree, right right to wear number one, man, 1376 01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:08,040 Speaker 2: you have to be really like that dude, that dude 1377 01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:10,600 Speaker 2: that when you step on the field everyone recognizes you 1378 01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:15,560 Speaker 2: as the one, so that's it. But number zero has 1379 01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,320 Speaker 2: become that be for one. The league just started allowing 1380 01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:22,160 Speaker 2: zero to come back into the fold last season, and 1381 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,400 Speaker 2: there's also some specialists to that because it's such a 1382 01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:30,000 Speaker 2: unique number. To pick number zero, you know that you're 1383 01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,960 Speaker 2: bringing all this attention to yourself and so you have 1384 01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,280 Speaker 2: to have the personality in the game to live up 1385 01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,040 Speaker 2: to all that comes with that. 1386 01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,280 Speaker 1: So here's the deal. Why would you even want to 1387 01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:41,080 Speaker 1: zero one number one? Because it puts so much more 1388 01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,200 Speaker 1: pressure on you. When I think of number one, I 1389 01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,720 Speaker 1: think of the big old Oscar Robertson. He won fourteen 1390 01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:47,080 Speaker 1: for the longest time. But when I think we went 1391 01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:50,320 Speaker 1: to Milwaukee to play with Leuel sinder Kareem Abdul at 1392 01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:51,960 Speaker 1: the time, he changed it to number one, and he 1393 01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,200 Speaker 1: deserved to be number one. He was number one, he's 1394 01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:54,960 Speaker 1: still number one. 1395 01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,840 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, why would you want that? Because the 1396 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:02,919 Speaker 2: people that typically choose to have that number, they don't 1397 01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:06,280 Speaker 2: worry about what everyone else thinks about them. They kind 1398 01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:10,840 Speaker 2: of welcome the competition and everything that comes with that. 1399 01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:12,960 Speaker 2: Because if you don't welcome it, then why would you 1400 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,080 Speaker 2: pick it. You have to be built the right way 1401 01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:18,520 Speaker 2: to wear that number. So for me, I am I'm 1402 01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:20,040 Speaker 2: okay with it. You just have to be built the 1403 01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,080 Speaker 2: right way. You got to have to swag the confidence 1404 01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:24,280 Speaker 2: in the game to be able to wear those numbers. 1405 01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:27,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep my eye on him, Arnold, I'm watching you. 1406 01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:29,960 Speaker 1: I'm watching you in the Detroit Lion station. You see 1407 01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,400 Speaker 1: what happened, all right, He's Bucky Brooks. I'm ady forever. 1408 01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:34,880 Speaker 1: We are Fox Sports Sunday on Fox Sports Ready and 1409 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:38,080 Speaker 1: now coming up next on Fox Sports Sunday Live from 1410 01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:40,520 Speaker 1: the Tyrock dot Com Studios. Now, this could have been 1411 01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:44,640 Speaker 1: a real slippery slope. That is next, But first, Dan Bayer, 1412 01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:46,080 Speaker 1: Let's hit a sports. 1413 01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:49,480 Speaker 5: Hey fellas a quick look back at yesterday's action in 1414 01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,920 Speaker 5: the NBA playoffs saw the Celtics beat the Cavaliers one 1415 01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,760 Speaker 5: oh six to ninety three. Jason Tatum thirty three points, 1416 01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,800 Speaker 5: thirteen rebounds and six assists. Is Boston is up to one, 1417 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,240 Speaker 5: Mavericks took it to one lead on the thunder, winning 1418 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:02,600 Speaker 5: one oh five to one oh one. 1419 01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:03,240 Speaker 2: PJ. 1420 01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 5: Washington led Dallas with twenty seven Luka Dancic had twenty 1421 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,680 Speaker 5: two points and fifteen rebounds, but he's hurting. Came into 1422 01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:10,640 Speaker 5: the game with knee. 1423 01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:11,200 Speaker 1: And ankle injuries. 1424 01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,720 Speaker 2: This was his exchange with the reporter after yesterday's win. 1425 01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:17,160 Speaker 2: As you said, you're out there battling, going through a 1426 01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:20,880 Speaker 2: lot coming off the court, you were clearly laboring what 1427 01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:24,120 Speaker 2: is what different parts are hurting everything? 1428 01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:30,520 Speaker 6: In the last play I split to defenders. Obviously nobody 1429 01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:36,160 Speaker 6: touched me as you know, her money again. But just 1430 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:37,360 Speaker 6: run a battle out there, man. 1431 01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:39,760 Speaker 2: We got to win this. All the matters, the everything 1432 01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:40,360 Speaker 2: hurts part. 1433 01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:44,240 Speaker 5: I can relate Game four the NBA Playoffs Sunday has 1434 01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:47,320 Speaker 5: the Nicks and Pacers playing in Indianapolis. That's at three 1435 01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:48,320 Speaker 5: thirty Eastern time. 1436 01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:49,080 Speaker 2: Just prior to that. 1437 01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:52,040 Speaker 5: By the way, NBA Draft lottery Pistons and Wizards have 1438 01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,840 Speaker 5: the best odds to get the first overall pick. The 1439 01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:56,720 Speaker 5: nightcap in the playoffs is a Game four between the 1440 01:07:56,760 --> 01:08:00,160 Speaker 5: Nuggets and Timberwolves in Minneapolis. Stanley Cup playoffs starts beat 1441 01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,000 Speaker 5: the Avalanche four to one. Dallas is up to one 1442 01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,720 Speaker 5: of the series. Hurricanes stayed alive by beating the Rangers 1443 01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:07,080 Speaker 5: in Game four four to three, but New York leads 1444 01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:09,640 Speaker 5: that series three to one. Shohy Otani had to leave 1445 01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:13,600 Speaker 5: the Dodgers win against the Padres five nothing with back discomfort. 1446 01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:16,400 Speaker 5: He's not likely to play in the series finale later 1447 01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:19,720 Speaker 5: on today at Petco. Elsewhere in baseball, the A's were 1448 01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:22,840 Speaker 5: eight to one winners against the Mariners, Rockies are rolling 1449 01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:25,360 Speaker 5: three in a row, they best in Texas eight three, 1450 01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,240 Speaker 5: and the Angels were nine to three victors against the Royals. 1451 01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:32,360 Speaker 5: NASCAR racings on FS one this afternoon, Chargers signed veteran 1452 01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,040 Speaker 5: pass rusher Bud Dupree to a two year deal. And 1453 01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,720 Speaker 5: in golf, Xanders Shoffley as a one shot lead over 1454 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:40,760 Speaker 5: Rory McElroy at the Wells Fargo Championship. 1455 01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:44,000 Speaker 1: Guys, back to you, Thanks Dan, all right now, pushing 1456 01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:46,200 Speaker 1: the envelope with this could lead to trouble. That's right 1457 01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,360 Speaker 1: around the corner. He's Bucky Brokes and Andy Furman, and 1458 01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:51,800 Speaker 1: we are Fox Sports Sunday with Bonam Barrel Betting coming 1459 01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,120 Speaker 1: up in about six minutes from now. And let's talk 1460 01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:57,519 Speaker 1: about quarterback Jayden Daniels. He went four spots ahead of 1461 01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:01,439 Speaker 1: his LSU teammate Maleak Neighbors in the draft, and he's 1462 01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:03,360 Speaker 1: also saying that he's gonna finish ahead of him when 1463 01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:05,840 Speaker 1: it comes to being named the NFL's offensive Rookie of 1464 01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:08,439 Speaker 1: the year, that's pretty good, and he says, initially otherwise 1465 01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:11,040 Speaker 1: would cost him ten thousand dollars because they made a 1466 01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,880 Speaker 1: bet who would win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. 1467 01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:18,200 Speaker 1: Now that bet between the Jaden Daniels and Milick neighbors 1468 01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:21,080 Speaker 1: for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year now is off. 1469 01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:25,280 Speaker 1: It's off. It's finished done because the twenty twenty two 1470 01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:32,680 Speaker 1: gambling policy stated that gambling includes quote private wagers between teammates, 1471 01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,679 Speaker 1: family and friends or others, but that was not included 1472 01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:41,320 Speaker 1: in the revised twenty twenty three policy. So again, this 1473 01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:45,320 Speaker 1: gambling situation is raising its ugly head everywhere you look, 1474 01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:47,880 Speaker 1: everywhere you turn. And this could have been a bad 1475 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,200 Speaker 1: situation for those two rookies to be in the National 1476 01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:54,400 Speaker 1: Football League. Again, I get it. I know, it's a 1477 01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,599 Speaker 1: revenue stream. The NFL loves it. All these professional teams 1478 01:09:57,640 --> 01:09:59,200 Speaker 1: love it, you know. And you got to look at 1479 01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,400 Speaker 1: a guy like Pete ro sitting on the outside looking in. 1480 01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:04,120 Speaker 1: If they only had that, maybe when he played, they 1481 01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:05,840 Speaker 1: would have turned the other cheek and maybe he'd be 1482 01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:06,519 Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. 1483 01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:06,720 Speaker 2: Now. 1484 01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:11,120 Speaker 1: But the gambling thing right now is just it's above 1485 01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:12,960 Speaker 1: and beyond that where I ever thought it would be, 1486 01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:15,120 Speaker 1: and that not a players are talking about it. I 1487 01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,120 Speaker 1: don't think it's healthy, Buck, I really don't. 1488 01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:20,360 Speaker 2: You don't think it's healthy. The guys are talking about 1489 01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:24,439 Speaker 2: gambling or that is a part of the landscape now, yes, 1490 01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:29,280 Speaker 2: and yes, yeah, I mean, but here's the thing. The 1491 01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:32,920 Speaker 2: National Football League had to make a business decision. They 1492 01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:35,320 Speaker 2: could could have continued to go down the road of 1493 01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:39,840 Speaker 2: not including gambling, online betting, day betting, all that other stuff, 1494 01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:43,240 Speaker 2: or they could welcome it. There's so much money tied 1495 01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:45,760 Speaker 2: into that because we saw it with daily fantasy. Once 1496 01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:48,720 Speaker 2: they started getting into the fantasy football business, then daily 1497 01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:52,000 Speaker 2: fantasy became a bigger deal than naturally. That transition to 1498 01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:55,280 Speaker 2: daily betting and that other stuff is too lucrative for 1499 01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,479 Speaker 2: the National Football League to sit on the sidelines, and 1500 01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:02,719 Speaker 2: despite having their morality where they've talked about that for years, 1501 01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:07,880 Speaker 2: ultimately Green outweighed that part of it, and so they're 1502 01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,040 Speaker 2: trying to do it while also trying to protect the 1503 01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,519 Speaker 2: integrity of the game. It's hard to live in both 1504 01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,600 Speaker 2: of those worlds. But the National Football League wants to 1505 01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,960 Speaker 2: try because they want the money from the casinos and 1506 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,680 Speaker 2: the online gambling entities while still trying to maintain the 1507 01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,600 Speaker 2: sanctity of the game. It is hard to do. So 1508 01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:27,760 Speaker 2: that's why they have to go so over the top 1509 01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,760 Speaker 2: when it comes to player discipline when there's even the 1510 01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:34,200 Speaker 2: slightest inkling that players are going to get involved in 1511 01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:38,400 Speaker 2: betting and waging of some kind. That said, they won't 1512 01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:41,040 Speaker 2: be able to police everything because some of the things 1513 01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:42,840 Speaker 2: that are uttered in the locker room in terms of 1514 01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,360 Speaker 2: like the private wages or whatever, the league won't be 1515 01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:48,479 Speaker 2: privy to. And so the reason why Malik Neighbors and 1516 01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:50,439 Speaker 2: Jade Daniels had to come out in a kind of 1517 01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:55,000 Speaker 2: quickly diffuse the ten thousand dollars talk on that is 1518 01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:57,840 Speaker 2: because the league certainly doesn't want that out for public 1519 01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:00,599 Speaker 2: consuption because it goes against the policy. If they're going 1520 01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:02,240 Speaker 2: to do that, that's going to have to be a 1521 01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:05,400 Speaker 2: wink nod situation that the league can't find out about. 1522 01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:07,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you something stupid, because most of 1523 01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:09,240 Speaker 1: the things that come out of my mouth are stupid. 1524 01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:11,080 Speaker 1: But what if these two guys are playing golf and 1525 01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:12,680 Speaker 1: they're betting on a golf game. Could you do that? 1526 01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:13,360 Speaker 2: Man? 1527 01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:14,400 Speaker 1: How far does this thing go? 1528 01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:17,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, Like technically they don't want 1529 01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:20,240 Speaker 2: you gambling on any of those things. But once again, 1530 01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,439 Speaker 2: I will say, and these certain things that take place 1531 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:26,439 Speaker 2: in the locker room will continue to take place in 1532 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,800 Speaker 2: the locker room, whether that is when you're on the 1533 01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:32,120 Speaker 2: plane and you're playing card games, whether you're in the 1534 01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:35,479 Speaker 2: hotel rooms on road trips playing card games or rolling 1535 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:38,919 Speaker 2: dice or doing whatever is competitive, those things will continue 1536 01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,880 Speaker 2: to exist. The one thing that you can't shut off, 1537 01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:46,439 Speaker 2: the same thing that makes players great, also can tend 1538 01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:50,000 Speaker 2: to be their Achilles Hill. Guys that are super competitive 1539 01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,400 Speaker 2: are going to be competitive in everything that they go 1540 01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,080 Speaker 2: they do. So part of the reason why you see 1541 01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:57,680 Speaker 2: guys go to Vegas and want to gamble and do 1542 01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:01,160 Speaker 2: those things is because the competitive part of it is 1543 01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,040 Speaker 2: who they are. Just like Michael Jordan, when Michael Jordan 1544 01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:07,080 Speaker 2: would have those trips to Atlantic City and then come 1545 01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:10,160 Speaker 2: back and play in Philly the next night. I mean, 1546 01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:12,519 Speaker 2: that's just a part of the DNA. They have to 1547 01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:14,559 Speaker 2: make sure they keep that under control. But some things 1548 01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,519 Speaker 2: you can't legislate out. They're going to compete. There's gonna 1549 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:20,639 Speaker 2: be some wagers and stuff exchange, because when you get 1550 01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:24,000 Speaker 2: the talking and the competitiveness and all that, sometimes people 1551 01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:25,840 Speaker 2: want you to put your money where your mouth is. 1552 01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:28,439 Speaker 1: Right, all right, Bucky Brooks, here's the big question of 1553 01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:30,920 Speaker 1: the day. Though Jayden Daniels was the second pick by 1554 01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,799 Speaker 1: at Washington Command, there's my Elaitue Neighbors the six pick overall, 1555 01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:36,960 Speaker 1: but a New York Giants. Who will be the NFL 1556 01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:39,639 Speaker 1: offensive rookie of the year. Well maybe it's Caleb Williams. 1557 01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:42,880 Speaker 2: I don't know Jayde Daniels. And the reason why I'm 1558 01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:45,000 Speaker 2: going with Jaden Daniels is because Jaden Daniels has the 1559 01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:49,479 Speaker 2: opportunity to create more splash plays than anybody else. And 1560 01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:53,000 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, you can have those spectacular passes in those things, right, 1561 01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,280 Speaker 2: He'll have plenty of those. We talked about that wide 1562 01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:57,280 Speaker 2: receiver cord being one that is in the top five 1563 01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:01,760 Speaker 2: in my estimation. But with Whyington, Jayde Daniels is going 1564 01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:03,400 Speaker 2: to have an opportunity to doubt so not only as 1565 01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:06,120 Speaker 2: a thrower but as a runner. And when you think 1566 01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:09,560 Speaker 2: about how that award goes to not only spectacular performances, 1567 01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:12,559 Speaker 2: but signature moments. He is going to have an opportunity 1568 01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:15,920 Speaker 2: to have more of those signature moments that resonate when 1569 01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:17,880 Speaker 2: it comes time to do the voting at the end 1570 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:19,840 Speaker 2: of the year. Because of that, that's why I'm gonna 1571 01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,799 Speaker 2: go with Jade and Daniels, and Cliff Kingsbury has already 1572 01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:25,400 Speaker 2: done this before. He did it with Kyler Murray. Kyler 1573 01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:27,840 Speaker 2: Murray went to Office Brick of the Year his first 1574 01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:30,920 Speaker 2: season with the Arizona Cardinals. They can use a similar 1575 01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:34,040 Speaker 2: blueprint to get him going and the magic numbers for 1576 01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:37,840 Speaker 2: Kyler Williams for Kyler Murray was thirty five hundred pass yards, 1577 01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:40,519 Speaker 2: five hundred rush yards, and I think he had twenty 1578 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:44,800 Speaker 2: four total touchdowns. It's easy to envision Jayde Daniels getting 1579 01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:47,360 Speaker 2: that based on his talent and based on the weapons 1580 01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,920 Speaker 2: that the Commanders have on the outside, Well. 1581 01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:51,479 Speaker 1: Said, I look, I would want to let people know 1582 01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:55,040 Speaker 1: that this is not anything new. Betting on the offensive 1583 01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,720 Speaker 1: Rookie the Year deal quarterback Baker Mayfield, who was with 1584 01:14:57,800 --> 01:14:59,960 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns at the time. He bought former Giant 1585 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:03,360 Speaker 1: It's running back Sequon Barkley a diamond and crusted necklace 1586 01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:06,400 Speaker 1: to pay off a similar bet after Barkley earned the 1587 01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,479 Speaker 1: honor back in twenty nineteen, and even Baker Mayfield said 1588 01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,719 Speaker 1: he flaunted the chain when he presented it to the winners. 1589 01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:15,200 Speaker 1: So Mayfield was the number one pick that year, Barkley 1590 01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:18,320 Speaker 1: was taken second by the Giants, and Mayfield had a payoff. 1591 01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:21,120 Speaker 1: So it happened, and I'm sure it's gonna happen again. 1592 01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:24,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna happen behind the behind closed doors. 1593 01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:26,000 Speaker 1: But you know, hopefully it doesn't get out because I 1594 01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:28,640 Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think it's good. I just I 1595 01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,200 Speaker 1: don't know. I just I don't like the gambling aspect. 1596 01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:34,040 Speaker 1: It's just I don't know. There's too many questions. I mean, 1597 01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:36,000 Speaker 1: you watch a game and people are betting on it. 1598 01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:38,800 Speaker 1: For the official makes a bad call, people are the 1599 01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:40,920 Speaker 1: second guest, and a receiver drops a pass in the 1600 01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:42,880 Speaker 1: end zone. Was he on the take? I mean, I know, 1601 01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:44,800 Speaker 1: these guys make so much money, you'd really have to 1602 01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:48,080 Speaker 1: give him some tons of cash to drop a pass 1603 01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,559 Speaker 1: for money. But still, in all, there's always that question, 1604 01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:52,719 Speaker 1: and you don't want to have that cloud over anybody. 1605 01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,040 Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. It just makes it bad. 1606 01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it certainly muddies the waters. You know, 1607 01:15:59,720 --> 01:16:04,439 Speaker 2: you wanted to be clear that everyone is a look 1608 01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:06,960 Speaker 2: above board, everyone is doing the right stuff. There's not 1609 01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:11,560 Speaker 2: anything that's influencing the game. That's why it's more so 1610 01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,280 Speaker 2: for appearances. Most guys aren't gonna tak the game like 1611 01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:17,160 Speaker 2: you're not gonna see shaving points, shaving in those things. 1612 01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:20,840 Speaker 2: But the league on the surface, because remember, so much 1613 01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:24,120 Speaker 2: money is tied into it, the gambling entities, they want 1614 01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:26,840 Speaker 2: to make sure that. Look, if the books are putting 1615 01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:28,920 Speaker 2: up big money, they want to make sure that the 1616 01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,400 Speaker 2: games are played fair and square. They also don't want 1617 01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:33,280 Speaker 2: to be snookered out of a bunch of different money 1618 01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:35,680 Speaker 2: because people aren't doing the right stuff.

Did you watch the Tom 1732 01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:24,040 Speaker 1: Brady Roast? 1733 01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:27,920 Speaker 2: Watch parts of it? I can't say that I watched 1734 01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:32,040 Speaker 2: all of it. I'm not really a roast person because 1735 01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:35,080 Speaker 2: I don't really understand the concept of sitting there while 1736 01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:38,920 Speaker 2: all your buddies like joke you and beat the living 1737 01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,280 Speaker 2: day like yeah that doesn't really. 1738 01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:44,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and say things that really and truly should because 1739 01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:46,679 Speaker 1: they say, if it's in Vegas, it stays in Vegas. 1740 01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:49,240 Speaker 1: I mean certain things that it's happened to you in 1741 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,120 Speaker 1: your life you don't want the public to know, especially 1742 01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:55,000 Speaker 1: on national TV. I don't get it. I really don't 1743 01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:57,479 Speaker 1: get the concept of it. Now as I mentioned early 1744 01:21:57,560 --> 01:21:59,960 Speaker 1: on years ago, they had like a Dean Martin Rose 1745 01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:02,360 Speaker 1: TV show and it was sort of funny. I mean, 1746 01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,439 Speaker 1: they had funny guys, comedians who was upbeat. It was 1747 01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:08,439 Speaker 1: kind of clean and I'm not a prude, as I mentioned, 1748 01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:12,040 Speaker 1: but I watched it, and the roaster is obviously Randy 1749 01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:14,599 Speaker 1: Moss was a roaster. And I watched this thing because 1750 01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:17,400 Speaker 1: the hype was ridiculous on Netflix, so I watched it. 1751 01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:19,560 Speaker 1: I had no idea it was three hours. If I 1752 01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:21,240 Speaker 1: would have known it was three hours, I wouldn't have 1753 01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:23,040 Speaker 1: watched it. But once I turned it on, I said, 1754 01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:24,840 Speaker 1: all right, I'll watch it. So I turned it on 1755 01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:26,360 Speaker 1: like a ten at night. It was over like a 1756 01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:29,880 Speaker 1: almost warm in the morning. Really, Randy Moss was bitter. 1757 01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:32,360 Speaker 1: I mean, he comes on there and he says, how 1758 01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:34,560 Speaker 1: come I didn't get a ring? I mean really, and 1759 01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:36,880 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's sitting there like a fool, like in the 1760 01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:40,400 Speaker 1: Dunce chair over there, and he just didn't know what 1761 01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:42,240 Speaker 1: to say. I mean, he didn't get a ring, and 1762 01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:44,760 Speaker 1: that was the end. He was upset. Rob Gronkowski, they 1763 01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:46,599 Speaker 1: made him look like a fool. They made it look 1764 01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:50,120 Speaker 1: like a dope. Really, it's amazing what they did. And 1765 01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:53,360 Speaker 1: then Julian Edelman comes on there and he mentions Robert 1766 01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:56,719 Speaker 1: Cress's funeral something to extent like I'm not quoting directly, 1767 01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,040 Speaker 1: like you know, maybe we won't go to your furnity 1768 01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:01,000 Speaker 1: funeral or something. I mean, come on, And then I 1769 01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:03,439 Speaker 1: think that tipped off Tom Brady, and I saw that 1770 01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:05,560 Speaker 1: he went over to Julian and kind of whispered in 1771 01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:07,559 Speaker 1: his ear, like, you know, back off a little bit. 1772 01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean, look to me, I hate to say this. 1773 01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:13,080 Speaker 1: For people going to think I'm a prude, I'm not. 1774 01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,720 Speaker 1: There was too much of color. It had to be, 1775 01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,560 Speaker 1: as I said, embarrassing, not only for Tom Brady and 1776 01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:22,200 Speaker 1: his parents, what about his kids? I mean and Kevin Hart. 1777 01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:24,560 Speaker 1: He had like a dagger in his mouth. Who is 1778 01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:30,000 Speaker 1: killing people? Really? Look, I don't find it funny when 1779 01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:32,920 Speaker 1: every other word is the F bomb. I mean, you know, 1780 01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:35,920 Speaker 1: I've seen these specials on HBO as well as well 1781 01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,880 Speaker 1: as this Netflix thing, and when these comedians come on 1782 01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:42,439 Speaker 1: and they dropped the F bomb and the audience is laughing, 1783 01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,400 Speaker 1: I laugh at then, not at what the comedian's saying. 1784 01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:50,120 Speaker 1: I don't find it funny, you know, I believe me, 1785 01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:52,760 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I don't swear. I have before and 1786 01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:55,200 Speaker 1: I probably still will. Hopefully I won't do it behind 1787 01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:59,120 Speaker 1: this microphone. But still, do you find that funny? 1788 01:23:59,200 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 2: Buck? Do you really? 1789 01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:02,720 Speaker 1: Do you hear those dropping the F bomb? Is that 1790 01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:05,479 Speaker 1: a funny thing? I don't know why a comment I'm 1791 01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:06,120 Speaker 1: doing this skit? 1792 01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:10,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like, I'm not one that really curses, 1793 01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:12,880 Speaker 2: so I mean it's fine though, like people use curse 1794 01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:15,760 Speaker 2: words or whatever like, but it's just not like, like 1795 01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:18,479 Speaker 2: my thing. And part of that is because I've worked 1796 01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:20,120 Speaker 2: with so many kids as like a high school coach. 1797 01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:22,479 Speaker 2: You can't just be out there dropping F bombs all 1798 01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:24,680 Speaker 2: the time. It's probably unbecoming of being the leader of 1799 01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:28,160 Speaker 2: the program that's tied to a school, but like to 1800 01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:31,160 Speaker 2: each his own. To me, the difference is not necessarily 1801 01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:34,080 Speaker 2: the F bombs and the language or whatever, is just 1802 01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:38,240 Speaker 2: really understanding the concept of just picking at someone relentlessly 1803 01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:42,160 Speaker 2: and finding joy in that. For me, that's not that's 1804 01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:44,360 Speaker 2: not the thing. It's it's okay to like have occasional 1805 01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:46,759 Speaker 2: jabs or whatever, but man, three hours of just people 1806 01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:49,479 Speaker 2: just taking shots, yeah, that's not that's not mine. 1807 01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:51,519 Speaker 1: I'm with you there. You know some of the F bombs. 1808 01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,880 Speaker 1: I mean, there was a radio a talk show host 1809 01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:56,760 Speaker 1: on w f A N Radio when New York was 1810 01:24:57,320 --> 01:25:00,360 Speaker 1: preaching to his audience that when they enter douce the 1811 01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:03,479 Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers against the Knicks and the playoffs games, they 1812 01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:07,519 Speaker 1: should say F the Pacers. I mean, what, how could 1813 01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:10,719 Speaker 1: a program direct to permit that? Forget about the program director, 1814 01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:13,120 Speaker 1: because he's probably an idiot too for even permitting this 1815 01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:15,240 Speaker 1: to go on the air. But more than that, if 1816 01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:18,719 Speaker 1: the host is a parent and as kids are listening, 1817 01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,519 Speaker 1: would you want your kids to say that? I just 1818 01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:23,519 Speaker 1: don't get it. I mean, but I guess people have 1819 01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:26,760 Speaker 1: two faces, the face of a normal person, you know, 1820 01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,120 Speaker 1: in your everyday life, and the face when you get 1821 01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:31,439 Speaker 1: behind the microphone and you want to stir things up. 1822 01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:34,040 Speaker 1: I get it. You know you're a different character behind 1823 01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:36,320 Speaker 1: the microphone. I guess you could say everybody is. I 1824 01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:39,280 Speaker 1: am to some extent too, but not like that, you know. 1825 01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:41,600 Speaker 1: But look, the real story of the roast was not 1826 01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:45,360 Speaker 1: so much the roast 's. It wasn't so much Tom Brady. 1827 01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:48,679 Speaker 1: It was the fact that maybe the Robert Kraft Bill 1828 01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:53,000 Speaker 1: Belichick situation all right, And according to two former players 1829 01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:57,840 Speaker 1: who attended the roast, Belichick and the owner of the Patriots, 1830 01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:03,080 Speaker 1: Robert Kraft. Julie Lleman and Drew Bloodshoe discussed the three 1831 01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:06,240 Speaker 1: hour roaster in the latest episode on Edelman's Games with 1832 01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:09,599 Speaker 1: Names podcast, and they describe what happened in the green room. Okay, 1833 01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:12,800 Speaker 1: and pre show. This is what Edelmund said. We're in 1834 01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,120 Speaker 1: the green room and were you there, Edelman asked, and 1835 01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:18,080 Speaker 1: of course Bledsoe says, yeah, Bill's coming up. He's having fun. 1836 01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:21,519 Speaker 1: He's talking war stories, talking skits, talking fun stuff. We 1837 01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:23,720 Speaker 1: know Bill's what he's all about. Then all of a 1838 01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:26,600 Speaker 1: sudden they were in the green room and then Belichick 1839 01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:30,280 Speaker 1: comes in there, Grondkowski's there, Randy Morris, and then Kraft arrived. 1840 01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:33,439 Speaker 1: When Kraft walked in, the tension in the room. They said, 1841 01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:35,760 Speaker 1: you couldn't cut it with an F and glass. This 1842 01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:38,240 Speaker 1: is what Julian Edelman said, and then Edelmand said he 1843 01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:40,320 Speaker 1: tried to give Belichick a heads up when he saw 1844 01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:43,160 Speaker 1: Kraft walk into the green room, but Belichick didn't pick 1845 01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:45,760 Speaker 1: up on the queue. Kraft came in and was like, Oh, 1846 01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:48,639 Speaker 1: there's gonna be some fireworks. This is what Edmund said 1847 01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:50,960 Speaker 1: on the podcast. I just walked away. I didn't want 1848 01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:53,240 Speaker 1: to get in there. Bleddshoe added that Belichick and Craft 1849 01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:56,240 Speaker 1: did at one point quote break it down and got 1850 01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:58,360 Speaker 1: together for I don't know, maybe ten minutes at least, 1851 01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:00,560 Speaker 1: but the former Patriots quart a back. I agree with 1852 01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:03,479 Speaker 1: Edelman's assessment about the tension of the room, saying it 1853 01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:07,000 Speaker 1: was very, very real. It was very real. Okay, I 1854 01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:10,240 Speaker 1: get it. You know, I'm sure that Belichick is not 1855 01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:14,240 Speaker 1: basically friendly and will not invite Robert Kraft to Thanksgiving dinner. 1856 01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:17,280 Speaker 1: I get it. And what he did to Belichick probably 1857 01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:19,400 Speaker 1: was wrong, you know what I mean. The guy's the 1858 01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:21,599 Speaker 1: greatest coach ever to coach in the National Football League, 1859 01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:24,960 Speaker 1: and from what I'm reading and I'm hearing right now, 1860 01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:28,439 Speaker 1: it looks like that Craft cut Belichick loose. That's basically 1861 01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:30,400 Speaker 1: what happened. That's why he's no longer coaching. 1862 01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:34,400 Speaker 2: Agreed, Well, yeah, I mean, I think everyone understands that 1863 01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:36,599 Speaker 2: they can say mutual party in the ways of anything. 1864 01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:38,880 Speaker 2: It was ownership telling the head coach he can no 1865 01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:41,760 Speaker 2: longer be there. Any other situation when you had someone 1866 01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:44,639 Speaker 2: who is won as much as Bill Belichick is won, 1867 01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:47,680 Speaker 2: he will be given the opportunity to coach as long 1868 01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:51,599 Speaker 2: as he wanted to until he retired. Think about Don 1869 01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:54,280 Speaker 2: Shulder with the Miami Dolphins, and it eventually got him. 1870 01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:56,120 Speaker 2: But think about Don Shueld, the winningest coach in the 1871 01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:59,120 Speaker 2: National Football League. He didn't make the playoffs the last 1872 01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:04,040 Speaker 2: handful of years before. You was maybe pushed out of 1873 01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:08,880 Speaker 2: Jimmy Johnson. But at some point you want to give 1874 01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:11,639 Speaker 2: the greats an opportunity to go out on their own. 1875 01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:16,519 Speaker 2: And Robert Craft felt like Bill Belichick no longer had 1876 01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:18,599 Speaker 2: the pulse of the team and that he was unable 1877 01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:21,360 Speaker 2: to turn it around. We'll see if Bill Belichick gets 1878 01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:23,920 Speaker 2: another opportunity to coach a team and to build it 1879 01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:27,640 Speaker 2: from scratch, I'll see this. Bill Belichick and the new 1880 01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:32,160 Speaker 2: Van Patriots spoiled us and changed our expectations of dominant teams. 1881 01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:34,800 Speaker 2: We now expect dominant teams to go to the Super 1882 01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:37,639 Speaker 2: Bowl each and every year. The Patriots went to nine 1883 01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:40,400 Speaker 2: Super Bowls, won six of them on his watch. And 1884 01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:44,240 Speaker 2: you just think about the teams that were I would 1885 01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:46,320 Speaker 2: say on paper not very good, but made it to 1886 01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:50,160 Speaker 2: the AFC Championship Game a lot alone a Super Bowl. 1887 01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:53,040 Speaker 2: He's the greatest coach that we've seen, and I felt 1888 01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:56,559 Speaker 2: like he was probably wrongly pushed out. But we'll see. 1889 01:28:56,880 --> 01:29:00,639 Speaker 2: Because it's a new erage, Jerem Mao takes over. Elliot 1890 01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:04,160 Speaker 2: Wolf was just named head of Like Football Operations. He'll 1891 01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:06,760 Speaker 2: take over and be the VP slash general manager of 1892 01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:10,320 Speaker 2: all things Patriots. We'll have an opportunity see how well 1893 01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:13,719 Speaker 2: the Patriots do now that you know the evil Empire 1894 01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:14,040 Speaker 2: is no. 1895 01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:16,960 Speaker 1: Longer, right, I hear what you say. Look, I will 1896 01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:19,559 Speaker 1: say this that Belichick and Craft they drank a shot 1897 01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:22,599 Speaker 1: together on stage, and that was with some coaxing from 1898 01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:25,040 Speaker 1: Kevin Hart, who was the host of the show, host 1899 01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:28,960 Speaker 1: of the roast. You know again, it was awkward. But 1900 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:31,200 Speaker 1: I will say this, I give Belichick a lot of 1901 01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:34,439 Speaker 1: credit for showing up because I think he would have 1902 01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:36,640 Speaker 1: got a lot more heat if he didn't show up. 1903 01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:38,880 Speaker 1: He would have been criticized if he was a no show, 1904 01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:41,720 Speaker 1: saying that he was afraid to face Craft one on one. 1905 01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:44,200 Speaker 1: He was there, he sucked it up. It's over, it's 1906 01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:47,479 Speaker 1: done with. But I think the whole thing was very 1907 01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:51,439 Speaker 1: tense and awkward. I mean, the whole roast was awkward. 1908 01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:55,000 Speaker 1: I mean, to me, Tom Brady was never the big 1909 01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:57,559 Speaker 1: talker anyway when he was a player. Could be very 1910 01:29:57,560 --> 01:29:59,439 Speaker 1: interesting to see what he does beyond the microphone for 1911 01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:02,000 Speaker 1: fights Fox, when he does the football games. But you know, 1912 01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:06,200 Speaker 1: to have a rose for Tom Brady and have those 1913 01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:09,719 Speaker 1: particulars as roasts. I thought the whole thing was crazy. 1914 01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:11,800 Speaker 1: I really do. But again maybe I was crazy for 1915 01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:15,040 Speaker 1: even watching it. But I just don't understand why they 1916 01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:18,240 Speaker 1: did a rose. But number two, this Craft Belichick thing, 1917 01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:21,240 Speaker 1: it's just it won't go away, and and I think 1918 01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:23,840 Speaker 1: the public knew that, and why they'd even I guess 1919 01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:25,880 Speaker 1: you have to have Robert Kraft there because you know 1920 01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:27,760 Speaker 1: he's the owner of the architect of the team. But 1921 01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:29,920 Speaker 1: it just it just didn't feel good. It was like 1922 01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:33,240 Speaker 1: a kind of a dirty feeling watching it, That's all 1923 01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:35,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying. And I believe me every other word was 1924 01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:41,640 Speaker 1: fairly dirty as well. I don't know, It's just to 1925 01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:43,680 Speaker 1: be ten other people I could think of I want 1926 01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:47,599 Speaker 1: to see being roasted. I mean, have you ever gone 1927 01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:49,599 Speaker 1: to a roast? Have you ever seen one of these deals? 1928 01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:50,760 Speaker 6: No? 1929 01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:53,880 Speaker 2: A person, I've never seen one, ever been to one. 1930 01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:56,639 Speaker 1: Anybody answered to participate in one? 1931 01:30:56,760 --> 01:30:58,519 Speaker 2: No, no, no, never. 1932 01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:03,120 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think the whole concept of a 1933 01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:07,040 Speaker 1: roast is somewhat foolish, don't you think that to have 1934 01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:10,280 Speaker 1: a guy sit there, I just beat people, just beat 1935 01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:11,880 Speaker 1: the living daylights out of him. And you know what, 1936 01:31:12,200 --> 01:31:15,680 Speaker 1: they got real personal. They were talking about Gizelle, the 1937 01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:18,960 Speaker 1: divorce he had with his wife, what's going on his 1938 01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:23,080 Speaker 1: sexual life. I mean, you know enough. I mean, I 1939 01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:24,680 Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people even want to hear 1940 01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:25,960 Speaker 1: about that stuff, do you. 1941 01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:27,080 Speaker 2: I didn't. 1942 01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:29,720 Speaker 1: I mean I listened, and I'm shaking my head. I said, wow, 1943 01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:32,400 Speaker 1: I thought bare for Tom Brady, but again more I 1944 01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:35,760 Speaker 1: went more so for his parents who were there, and 1945 01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:38,320 Speaker 1: his kids. His kids are hearing this stuff. It's just 1946 01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:43,080 Speaker 1: there's no there's no boundaries anymore. You know, anything goes right, 1947 01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:45,360 Speaker 1: anything goes in life. That's the way it is right now. 1948 01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:48,439 Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, No, that's sweet. It is. Look, 1949 01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:49,960 Speaker 2: you got a lot of got a lot of traction. 1950 01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:51,479 Speaker 2: There are a lot of people who loved it, a 1951 01:31:51,479 --> 01:31:53,920 Speaker 2: lot of people who enjoyed like watching that, and so 1952 01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,679 Speaker 2: to each his own like it obviously was popularly. Netflix 1953 01:31:56,760 --> 01:31:59,240 Speaker 2: far enough of it to pay significant money to have 1954 01:31:59,439 --> 01:32:02,400 Speaker 2: Tom Brady be the subject of the Rose, and you know, 1955 01:32:02,880 --> 01:32:04,840 Speaker 2: by all the counts it was a success. So I'm 1956 01:32:04,880 --> 01:32:08,799 Speaker 2: sure we will see more of our top prominent athletes 1957 01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:12,760 Speaker 2: kind of have rose so people can laugh and be 1958 01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:16,760 Speaker 2: entertained by. Like some of the flaws, it may humanize 1959 01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:18,599 Speaker 2: some of them. So I'm sure we'll see more. 1960 01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:21,080 Speaker 1: I would say this, and if I'm an athlete and 1961 01:32:21,120 --> 01:32:23,080 Speaker 1: I watched that and someone asked me, hey, well you 1962 01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:25,640 Speaker 1: want to be roasted, I'd say no. I'd say no. 1963 01:32:25,760 --> 01:32:27,760 Speaker 1: I just I don't know why you'd want to. You know, 1964 01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:29,800 Speaker 1: I'd like to see Rose and maybe Peyton Manning that 1965 01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:32,840 Speaker 1: may be funny, you know, and he was there, you know, 1966 01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:34,479 Speaker 1: he was there at that Rose. But other than that, 1967 01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:36,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. I want to move on because you 1968 01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:38,120 Speaker 1: mentioned something about the new England Patriots. Let's talk about 1969 01:32:38,120 --> 01:32:40,719 Speaker 1: the future. Now, let's talk about girod Mayo, the new coach. 1970 01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:42,280 Speaker 1: First of all, how do you think he's going to do? 1971 01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:45,479 Speaker 1: Number one? And part B of that question right now, 1972 01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:47,960 Speaker 1: they asked him about his first impressions of you, a 1973 01:32:48,040 --> 01:32:52,320 Speaker 1: guy from North Carolina, Drake may at the quarterback situation, 1974 01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:53,920 Speaker 1: and they say he's got a lot of work to do, 1975 01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:56,240 Speaker 1: And I think it's a standard quote that he probably 1976 01:32:56,280 --> 01:32:58,120 Speaker 1: would have said that he's got a lot of work 1977 01:32:58,160 --> 01:33:02,960 Speaker 1: to do. But you're your assessment of Drake May as quarterback, 1978 01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:05,280 Speaker 1: how he's going to make it in the National Football League. 1979 01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:08,760 Speaker 2: I mean, look, a lot of it would depend on 1980 01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:13,320 Speaker 2: what he has around him. He's super talented. The talent 1981 01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:16,160 Speaker 2: is comparable to the talent that we've seen from Josh 1982 01:33:16,200 --> 01:33:19,120 Speaker 2: Allen up in Buffalo. The issue that you have with 1983 01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:24,360 Speaker 2: Drake May is the inconsistencies and the inexperience. The inconsistencies 1984 01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:27,960 Speaker 2: in terms of how he plays from the pocket, against pressure, 1985 01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:31,120 Speaker 2: against elite competition and those things. But a lot of 1986 01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:34,760 Speaker 2: that might be due to the inexperience. Drake May has 1987 01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:38,320 Speaker 2: only played in two of the last four years, and 1988 01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:40,560 Speaker 2: part of that is due to COVID wiped away his 1989 01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:43,920 Speaker 2: senior season in high school. His freshman year he was 1990 01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:47,720 Speaker 2: sitting behind Sam Howell, and then he played the last 1991 01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:50,639 Speaker 2: two years. The first year he played, he had pros 1992 01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:53,599 Speaker 2: on the perimeter. They looked great. Last year he didn't 1993 01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:57,400 Speaker 2: have the same supporting cast and so his play trailed off. 1994 01:33:57,800 --> 01:34:00,240 Speaker 2: If New England surround him with high level talent on 1995 01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:04,000 Speaker 2: the perimeter, if they take a slow developmental process with him, 1996 01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:06,439 Speaker 2: he could be everything that people think that he could 1997 01:34:06,479 --> 01:34:09,240 Speaker 2: be in terms of reaching his ceiling. If he's thrown 1998 01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:11,920 Speaker 2: out there before he's ready and he doesn't have the parts, 1999 01:34:12,439 --> 01:34:15,439 Speaker 2: and look, it could look ugly because he will be 2000 01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:18,439 Speaker 2: prone to turn the ball over in those things. So 2001 01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:21,240 Speaker 2: a lot of it depends on the Patriots approach to 2002 01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:23,000 Speaker 2: him and how they want to put him on the 2003 01:34:23,040 --> 01:34:24,599 Speaker 2: field and when they want to put him on the field. 2004 01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:26,559 Speaker 1: All right, Bucket Brooks, Now you're talking about the parts. 2005 01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:28,760 Speaker 1: Let's get specific right now. May is the first pick. 2006 01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:31,479 Speaker 1: He's a third pick in the draft and the quarterback 2007 01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:33,240 Speaker 1: for the New England Patriots. And they come right back 2008 01:34:33,439 --> 01:34:35,840 Speaker 1: in the second round picking number thirty seven. Jalen Polk, 2009 01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:38,160 Speaker 1: the wide receiver from Washington. Tell me a little bit 2010 01:34:38,200 --> 01:34:40,360 Speaker 1: of Pulk. Is he going to be a good fixture 2011 01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:42,600 Speaker 1: for the Patriots to help them maybe get out of 2012 01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:44,839 Speaker 1: what they've been down in the basement, down the dumps? 2013 01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:47,639 Speaker 2: Well, I mean you hope, So I mean you take 2014 01:34:47,680 --> 01:34:50,559 Speaker 2: him in a second round player. He's really good pass catcher, 2015 01:34:50,800 --> 01:34:52,760 Speaker 2: really physical, does a great job with the ball in 2016 01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:55,760 Speaker 2: his hands. Played at udub and you know, you kind 2017 01:34:55,760 --> 01:34:58,519 Speaker 2: of get lost, you know, get lost in the shadow 2018 01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:01,240 Speaker 2: of Roma doonsay. But when you look up, look at 2019 01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:04,599 Speaker 2: the numbers and watch how Michael Pennix was not afraid 2020 01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:07,320 Speaker 2: to go to him in any situation. He certainly has 2021 01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:10,200 Speaker 2: the ability to be maybe a number two receiver on 2022 01:35:10,360 --> 01:35:13,080 Speaker 2: a good team. And the Pages have won in the 2023 01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:16,680 Speaker 2: past with a bunch of two's being able to get 2024 01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:19,560 Speaker 2: guys that are necessarily A level talents, but b B 2025 01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:22,920 Speaker 2: plus level talents that understand exactly what they're doing and 2026 01:35:23,040 --> 01:35:25,800 Speaker 2: how to do it. This can work for Drake May, 2027 01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:28,720 Speaker 2: but it's really gonna be essential for everyone to be 2028 01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:31,280 Speaker 2: on the same page. And how can the team get 2029 01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:34,360 Speaker 2: everybody on the same page. Have all the young guys 2030 01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:37,120 Speaker 2: play Scout team together so they get used to developing 2031 01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:41,440 Speaker 2: a chemistry with one another. Give the young guys experience. 2032 01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:43,439 Speaker 2: And so as much as I was advocating for Drake 2033 01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:46,200 Speaker 2: May not to go on the field right away, maybe 2034 01:35:46,280 --> 01:35:49,400 Speaker 2: there's a way to get him kind of involved in 2035 01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:53,400 Speaker 2: the game while slowly introducing him to the program. So 2036 01:35:53,479 --> 01:35:55,840 Speaker 2: as that packages is that, hey man, we're going to 2037 01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:59,519 Speaker 2: always put you in the third series or those things, 2038 01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:02,000 Speaker 2: but they have to kind of come together Jalen Polk 2039 01:36:02,120 --> 01:36:04,120 Speaker 2: is a huge part of that, but it also has 2040 01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:07,559 Speaker 2: to be the other wide receivers working diligently to get 2041 01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:09,519 Speaker 2: on the same page with a franchise quarterback. 2042 01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:11,519 Speaker 1: Well, they knew exactly what they needed the New England 2043 01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:13,599 Speaker 1: pageostigal for the quarterback. At the first pick they got 2044 01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:15,840 Speaker 1: a receiver, and the second pick. Third pick they went 2045 01:36:15,880 --> 01:36:18,000 Speaker 1: for an offensive tackle to protect the quarterback. And then 2046 01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:20,879 Speaker 1: round four they get into the wide receiver from UCF 2047 01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:23,680 Speaker 1: Central Florida, Javon Baker. What about Javon Baker? You know 2048 01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:24,639 Speaker 1: anything about this kid? 2049 01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:28,919 Speaker 2: Jamon Baker from UCF is talented man. He's a talented playmaker. 2050 01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:32,080 Speaker 2: Started at Alabama, made his way to UCF, and in 2051 01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:34,680 Speaker 2: the last two years of UCF he was absolutely spectacular. 2052 01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:38,000 Speaker 2: Great route runner, big time playmaking skills, terrify with the 2053 01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:41,920 Speaker 2: ball in his hands. Underrated by all accounts. He is 2054 01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:46,120 Speaker 2: upset that he wasn't drafted earlier. Look, he's a dog 2055 01:36:46,439 --> 01:36:49,680 Speaker 2: like he Jelen Poles. They'll certainly changed the attitude of 2056 01:36:49,760 --> 01:36:52,000 Speaker 2: the wide receiver room, but then it's about how do 2057 01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:56,160 Speaker 2: they perform. Do any of those guys have the requisite 2058 01:36:56,240 --> 01:36:59,320 Speaker 2: traits and ability to be considered for a bigger role. 2059 01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:02,720 Speaker 2: That will be something that's TVD. It'll be determined, but 2060 01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:06,280 Speaker 2: you're hoping that one of those guys can emerge as 2061 01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:09,320 Speaker 2: a like a fringe number one receiver that can ink 2062 01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:10,040 Speaker 2: in the passing game. 2063 01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:12,519 Speaker 1: Okay, and the Patriots this serious right now. Was they're 2064 01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:14,120 Speaker 1: afraid that if mate doesn't make it or he can't 2065 01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:16,479 Speaker 1: get it done. They go back now around six pick 2066 01:37:16,520 --> 01:37:19,360 Speaker 1: another quarterback, and this guy Joe Milton at Tennessee. They 2067 01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:23,080 Speaker 1: were hyping him two years ago for potential Heisman trophy, remember, 2068 01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:25,200 Speaker 1: and then he got hurt. But they got Milton right 2069 01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:27,600 Speaker 1: now quarterback on the sixth pick, and come back on 2070 01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:29,880 Speaker 1: seventh they got Jahim Bell, a tight end out of 2071 01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:32,240 Speaker 1: Florida State. Tell me about Milton right now, what's the 2072 01:37:32,240 --> 01:37:34,720 Speaker 1: status with him? And of course Bell to tight end. 2073 01:37:36,160 --> 01:37:38,920 Speaker 2: Well. With Milton, you're talking about like just a fantastic, 2074 01:37:39,320 --> 01:37:43,360 Speaker 2: just prospect. And what I mean by a prospect is 2075 01:37:43,560 --> 01:37:47,080 Speaker 2: like high weight, speed, arm strength. I mean, dude can 2076 01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:52,240 Speaker 2: throw it out of the stadium literally. He has limitless range, 2077 01:37:53,120 --> 01:37:55,360 Speaker 2: big body guy who started at Michigan before he made 2078 01:37:55,360 --> 01:37:58,360 Speaker 2: his way to Tennessee. He flashes. He just has never 2079 01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:00,439 Speaker 2: put it together. He has all the two and trades 2080 01:38:00,479 --> 01:38:02,719 Speaker 2: that you look for, but he's never put it together 2081 01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:06,200 Speaker 2: in terms of being a quarterback. The big thing that 2082 01:38:06,320 --> 01:38:08,240 Speaker 2: you have with the Patriots is how do you develop 2083 01:38:08,320 --> 01:38:10,800 Speaker 2: two young quarterbacks at the same time you have your 2084 01:38:10,840 --> 01:38:13,280 Speaker 2: franchise quarterback in Drake May. Do you have someone who 2085 01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:16,080 Speaker 2: is regarded as a developmental prospect? How much time are 2086 01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:19,200 Speaker 2: you going to vote to the developmental prospect compared to 2087 01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:22,080 Speaker 2: the Francis guys. You can put them both together, but 2088 01:38:22,880 --> 01:38:27,000 Speaker 2: the pecking order is definitely different. I understand why he 2089 01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:30,479 Speaker 2: was selected Elliott Wolf, son of Ron Wolf. Ron Wolf 2090 01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:34,800 Speaker 2: believed in taking quarterbacks and taking quarterbacks look every other 2091 01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:37,559 Speaker 2: year in the draft because it's the biggest trade chip 2092 01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:41,839 Speaker 2: that you could have on your roster and intriguing developmental prospects. 2093 01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:44,800 Speaker 2: So I understood why they took them. Took them. Now, 2094 01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:46,880 Speaker 2: what is the plan for them to get both of 2095 01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:49,360 Speaker 2: the young guys ready to play? And when do you 2096 01:38:49,439 --> 01:38:53,120 Speaker 2: have an opportunity to showcase Joe Milton to be the 2097 01:38:53,240 --> 01:38:56,640 Speaker 2: starting quarterback of the future somewhere else. There's a lot 2098 01:38:56,680 --> 01:38:58,600 Speaker 2: of things in play. How do you manage how do 2099 01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:00,240 Speaker 2: you manage the reps? How do you manag and it's 2100 01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:03,519 Speaker 2: the practice situation to make sure that both players get 2101 01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:04,000 Speaker 2: what they need. 2102 01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:07,200 Speaker 1: Interesting, all right, buck, you and the man. Any time 2103 01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:08,880 Speaker 1: you want something to answer to football, you're the guy. 2104 01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:11,240 Speaker 1: He's Bucky Brooks. You get him on Twitter at Bucket 2105 01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:14,360 Speaker 1: Brooks at Andy Furman FSR eight seven seven ninety nine 2106 01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:16,400 Speaker 1: one Fox. That's our number, and that translates to eight 2107 01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:19,160 Speaker 1: seven seven nine ninety six sixty three sixty nine. We 2108 01:39:19,240 --> 01:39:23,000 Speaker 1: got Look the blame game. We got that at the 2109 01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:24,760 Speaker 1: end of this hour, so that don't go anywhere. But 2110 01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:28,160 Speaker 1: they're all athletes. They're all athletes. Okay, but who's better 2111 01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:32,640 Speaker 1: that's coming up next. The comparison is meaningless. We'll tell 2112 01:39:32,640 --> 01:39:34,320 Speaker 1: you all about it in just about a minute.

Now you talk about comparisons, okay, 2124 01:40:06,320 --> 01:40:08,400 Speaker 1: comparing A and B, B and C, whatever it may be. 2125 01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:10,000 Speaker 1: I think there are a waste of time. I think 2126 01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:13,320 Speaker 1: it's foolish. I think it's crazy. Is a chemistry professor 2127 01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:15,880 Speaker 1: better than a history professor? What are you comparing? They're 2128 01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:18,320 Speaker 1: two different people. Stay in your lane. They're two different 2129 01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:20,840 Speaker 1: different things. Right? Is a musician better than a doctor? 2130 01:40:21,320 --> 01:40:24,320 Speaker 1: Each each person has special talents. A doctor is a 2131 01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:26,760 Speaker 1: doctor better than a dentist? I don't think so. But 2132 01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:30,439 Speaker 1: Austin Rivers, a former NBA guy, has the utmost confidence 2133 01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:34,720 Speaker 1: in NBA players athleticism. He believes thirty NBA players could 2134 01:40:34,760 --> 01:40:38,080 Speaker 1: play in the NFL, but thirty NFL players could not 2135 01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:41,400 Speaker 1: be in the NBA. First of all, I think you 2136 01:40:41,520 --> 01:40:44,719 Speaker 1: got too much free time on your hand, Austin, who cares? Bucky? 2137 01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:47,280 Speaker 1: I mean, could you play in the NBA? I think 2138 01:40:47,360 --> 01:40:50,400 Speaker 1: you probably could. I think you could. We do you know? 2139 01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:53,920 Speaker 2: So here's the thing, Because there was so much outrage 2140 01:40:53,960 --> 01:40:57,160 Speaker 2: about Austin Rivers comments about NBA players making it to 2141 01:40:57,240 --> 01:41:01,000 Speaker 2: the NFL and vice versa. Here's what I would say. 2142 01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:04,920 Speaker 2: NBA athletes are special athletes. And you've heard me talk 2143 01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:08,519 Speaker 2: for two plus hours about high wight speed. But when 2144 01:41:08,560 --> 01:41:11,360 Speaker 2: you look at NBA players, their high waight speed would 2145 01:41:11,360 --> 01:41:13,880 Speaker 2: give them advantages that would allow them to play in 2146 01:41:13,960 --> 01:41:16,960 Speaker 2: the National Football League. And the examples that I've used, 2147 01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:22,000 Speaker 2: we've seen average college basketball players come into the NFL 2148 01:41:22,080 --> 01:41:25,320 Speaker 2: and have success. Antonio Gates will be a Hall of 2149 01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:29,160 Speaker 2: Fame player. He was a solid player in college, didn't 2150 01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:31,360 Speaker 2: play any football, goes to the NFL and becomes a 2151 01:41:31,400 --> 01:41:35,600 Speaker 2: Gold Jackie guy. Tony Gonzalez was a role player for 2152 01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:40,280 Speaker 2: the cal Bears playing basketball, goes to the NFL, has success. Now, 2153 01:41:40,320 --> 01:41:42,800 Speaker 2: he played both in college, so he's not really a 2154 01:41:42,920 --> 01:41:48,000 Speaker 2: true comparison. Jimmy Graham, who was a sixth man at 2155 01:41:48,040 --> 01:41:50,840 Speaker 2: the University of Miami, plays one year college football, goes 2156 01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:53,920 Speaker 2: to the NFL and have success. So if those guys 2157 01:41:54,040 --> 01:41:56,840 Speaker 2: aren't even the best basketball players that are available, if 2158 01:41:56,840 --> 01:41:59,719 Speaker 2: they can come into the National Football League and have success, 2159 01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:03,759 Speaker 2: why wouldn't guys like Anthony Edwards be able to have success. 2160 01:42:04,040 --> 01:42:06,760 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't guys like Russell Westbrook come into the league 2161 01:42:06,760 --> 01:42:09,759 Speaker 2: and have success. We're talking about a better caliber athlete, 2162 01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:13,800 Speaker 2: better caliber player in basketball coming to the NFL. So 2163 01:42:13,960 --> 01:42:17,000 Speaker 2: to me, it makes sense in that regard. Then when 2164 01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:20,160 Speaker 2: it comes to the NFL guys going to the NBA, No, 2165 01:42:20,520 --> 01:42:24,240 Speaker 2: because typically those guys aren't skilled enough and they're not 2166 01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:26,479 Speaker 2: tall enough to be able to play in the NBA. 2167 01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:29,639 Speaker 2: Julius Peppers Hall of Fame player, one of the best 2168 01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:32,679 Speaker 2: football players that we've ever seen. He was a sixth 2169 01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:35,400 Speaker 2: man on a Final four team at my alma mater. 2170 01:42:35,840 --> 01:42:39,120 Speaker 2: Julius Peppers, Mike could get some rebounds and stuff, but 2171 01:42:39,200 --> 01:42:41,479 Speaker 2: they're not thirty guys like Julius Peppers that could go 2172 01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:44,680 Speaker 2: into the NBA and play and dominate and play for 2173 01:42:44,760 --> 01:42:47,400 Speaker 2: a long time. So to me, I don't understand what 2174 01:42:48,040 --> 01:42:51,280 Speaker 2: the conversation is. They're far more NBA players who could 2175 01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:53,599 Speaker 2: play in the National Football League than NFL players could 2176 01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:54,519 Speaker 2: go play in the NBA. 2177 01:42:54,920 --> 01:42:56,800 Speaker 1: This is a great conversation. I want to pick up 2178 01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:58,120 Speaker 1: on it, but first I'm going to sell you this. 2179 01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:01,519 Speaker 1: This is a weak criticism. The talk about that as 2180 01:43:01,560 --> 01:43:03,439 Speaker 1: coming up next and we'll continue with this is coming 2181 01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:05,720 Speaker 1: up from the tireight Dot Com Studios. But first off, 2182 01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:07,679 Speaker 1: Guy the Iman Isaac long Crown. 2183 01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:10,519 Speaker 7: With all your sports Good morning, Andy and Bucky, and 2184 01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:14,120 Speaker 7: we start with Game three of the NBA's Eastern Conference Semifinals. 2185 01:43:14,200 --> 01:43:16,919 Speaker 7: On Saturday night saw the Boston Celtics win in Cleveland 2186 01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:19,000 Speaker 7: one oh six to ninety three for a two games 2187 01:43:19,080 --> 01:43:22,400 Speaker 7: to one lead. Jason Tatum scored thirty three. Jalen Brown 2188 01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:25,840 Speaker 7: added twenty eight. In the Stanley Cup playoffs on Saturday night, 2189 01:43:25,960 --> 01:43:28,320 Speaker 7: the Dallas Stars one of Colorado four to one in 2190 01:43:28,400 --> 01:43:30,679 Speaker 7: Game three of the Western Conference semi Finals. 2191 01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:32,519 Speaker 1: Stars lead the series two games to one. 2192 01:43:33,160 --> 01:43:36,080 Speaker 7: Baseball on Saturday evening, the Los Angeles Dodgers with a 2193 01:43:36,200 --> 01:43:41,000 Speaker 7: five nothing victory at San Diego. James Paxton's six scorelessennings 2194 01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:44,000 Speaker 7: to improve his record to five. N O ti Oscar 2195 01:43:44,040 --> 01:43:46,479 Speaker 7: Hernandez hit a grand slam for the Dodgers, who have 2196 01:43:46,560 --> 01:43:50,080 Speaker 7: won eight of nine. Speaking of grand slams, San Francisco's 2197 01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:52,639 Speaker 7: Matt Chapman hit a first inning grand slam and their 2198 01:43:52,680 --> 01:43:56,000 Speaker 7: five to one win over the Cincinnati Reds. The Milwaukee 2199 01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:59,679 Speaker 7: Brewers over the Saint Louis Cardinals five to three. Rees 2200 01:43:59,800 --> 01:44:02,000 Speaker 7: High Kins the game winning three run home run in 2201 01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:04,280 Speaker 7: the bottom of the seventh inning. The Cardinals, now on 2202 01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:08,280 Speaker 7: a seven game losing streak, and the Colorado Rockies topped 2203 01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:11,080 Speaker 7: the Texas Rangers eight to three thanks to a six 2204 01:44:11,320 --> 01:44:14,800 Speaker 7: run outburst in the bottom of the seventh inning in Denver. 2205 01:44:15,040 --> 01:44:17,840 Speaker 1: Fellas all yours all right, I man, thank you so much. 2206 01:44:17,840 --> 01:44:20,520 Speaker 1: I want to continue this with Bucky Brooks. It's unbelievable, 2207 01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:22,599 Speaker 1: like what Austin Rivers has done. First of all, well, 2208 01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:24,240 Speaker 1: you know, you got to have too much free time 2209 01:44:24,280 --> 01:44:26,600 Speaker 1: on your hands to talk about comparisons and players in 2210 01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:29,720 Speaker 1: one league or the other. But Lebron James obviously one 2211 01:44:29,720 --> 01:44:31,439 Speaker 1: of the best ever to play in the NBA. He 2212 01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:33,920 Speaker 1: said that Jerry Jones over him a contract. I could 2213 01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:35,880 Speaker 1: see him being a tight end Jimmy Butler for the 2214 01:44:35,920 --> 01:44:37,960 Speaker 1: Miami Heat. He said he could make it in the 2215 01:44:38,080 --> 01:44:40,679 Speaker 1: NFL because he says, quote, I'm fast, I have great hands, 2216 01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:42,640 Speaker 1: I could really catch. And I remember back in the 2217 01:44:42,720 --> 01:44:45,400 Speaker 1: day John Havlichek, who played for the Boston Celtics. They 2218 01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:47,800 Speaker 1: say he was the last man cut by the Cleveland Browns. 2219 01:44:47,840 --> 01:44:50,840 Speaker 1: So you talk about athleticism, yes, it can't happen. There 2220 01:44:50,840 --> 01:44:52,840 Speaker 1: you go, and you were right. Buck you're right about 2221 01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, going back and forth. It's stupid. It's a 2222 01:44:55,160 --> 01:44:58,240 Speaker 1: stupid comparison. I mean that would be like saying, can 2223 01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:01,960 Speaker 1: a soccer player played baseball? No, he doesn't use his hands. 2224 01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:05,160 Speaker 1: I mean, why would you even think about comparing one 2225 01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:07,080 Speaker 1: league against the other? I don't get it. Why are 2226 01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:08,040 Speaker 1: you even going there? 2227 01:45:09,320 --> 01:45:12,160 Speaker 2: Well, I mean I like it, but I think people 2228 01:45:12,240 --> 01:45:15,400 Speaker 2: have to understand this because everyone and look, I am 2229 01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:19,439 Speaker 2: the biggest football junkie known to man. I love football. 2230 01:45:19,479 --> 01:45:21,920 Speaker 2: I've loved it since I was seven years old. I 2231 01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:24,559 Speaker 2: grew up just adoring the game and all that other stuff. 2232 01:45:24,840 --> 01:45:27,519 Speaker 2: But I also had an opportunity to play in Green 2233 01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:30,320 Speaker 2: Bay and to also play for the Raiders. And anyone 2234 01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:33,000 Speaker 2: who knows al Davis. Al Davis was one of the 2235 01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:35,760 Speaker 2: guys who was at the forefront of taking guys from 2236 01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:39,160 Speaker 2: outside sports and putting them in. The Dallas Cowboys did 2237 01:45:39,200 --> 01:45:42,280 Speaker 2: it for years. The Dallas Cowboys took basketball players and 2238 01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:46,040 Speaker 2: routinely had them on the team. And so, learning from 2239 01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:49,040 Speaker 2: Green Bay and Oak because Ron Wolf is a disciple 2240 01:45:49,080 --> 01:45:53,320 Speaker 2: of al Davis and too right, they would always explore 2241 01:45:53,439 --> 01:45:56,120 Speaker 2: guys that played other sports and bring them in and 2242 01:45:56,240 --> 01:45:59,200 Speaker 2: so here's what I will say about basketball players because 2243 01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:02,040 Speaker 2: I've always to tie end analogy. I gave you Gates 2244 01:46:02,080 --> 01:46:05,240 Speaker 2: and Gonzales and Jimmy Graham or whatever. But here's where 2245 01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:08,920 Speaker 2: the skills really translate. So in basketball, guys are playing 2246 01:46:09,040 --> 01:46:12,160 Speaker 2: Manda man defense. So let's just think about all the 2247 01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:14,280 Speaker 2: guards that are in the NBA. Most of the guards 2248 01:46:14,320 --> 01:46:17,040 Speaker 2: are anywhere from six ' one to six ' five, 2249 01:46:17,400 --> 01:46:20,280 Speaker 2: So imagine what they do all day is shadow and 2250 01:46:20,320 --> 01:46:22,479 Speaker 2: stay in front of all of these basketball players to 2251 01:46:22,560 --> 01:46:25,360 Speaker 2: prevent them from getting to the hoop. Those same skills 2252 01:46:25,680 --> 01:46:28,920 Speaker 2: you can utilize to take and put a basketball player 2253 01:46:29,080 --> 01:46:31,640 Speaker 2: at cornerback in the National Football League, ask them to 2254 01:46:31,640 --> 01:46:34,000 Speaker 2: play bump and run coverage. Tell them, hey, it's no 2255 01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:36,639 Speaker 2: different than playing Mando man and basketball stand in front. 2256 01:46:36,960 --> 01:46:39,120 Speaker 2: But now you get an opportunity to use your hands 2257 01:46:39,400 --> 01:46:42,439 Speaker 2: that you can't use in basketball because you can't handcheck. Well, 2258 01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:45,680 Speaker 2: imagine me having an opportunity over time to teach them 2259 01:46:45,720 --> 01:46:48,160 Speaker 2: how to incorporate the hands with the foot movement. They 2260 01:46:48,320 --> 01:46:51,560 Speaker 2: already have advantages. So when people make these points that 2261 01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:55,960 Speaker 2: NBA players couldn't do it, they absolutely could. And when 2262 01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:58,519 Speaker 2: you go back and dig into the history, Alan iverson 2263 01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:01,439 Speaker 2: high end high school football player. I think he might 2264 01:47:01,479 --> 01:47:03,400 Speaker 2: have been a State Player of the Year in Virginia 2265 01:47:03,800 --> 01:47:08,000 Speaker 2: as a wide receiver quarterback dB at Bethel High School. 2266 01:47:08,280 --> 01:47:12,880 Speaker 2: So there's this list of basketball players who've had success 2267 01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:16,600 Speaker 2: in football in high school. They absolutely could make it 2268 01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:19,200 Speaker 2: in the NFL. That's why it's such a silly argument 2269 01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:23,080 Speaker 2: for NFL players to get to get outraged, because we've 2270 01:47:23,080 --> 01:47:24,840 Speaker 2: seen it happen and we know it could happen. 2271 01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:27,200 Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned Anthony Edwards. I think I'm with you, 2272 01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:28,840 Speaker 1: and I think you could play in the NFL. I 2273 01:47:28,960 --> 01:47:30,720 Speaker 1: tell you what, I think Zion Williamson could be a 2274 01:47:30,760 --> 01:47:32,240 Speaker 1: tight end in the NFL. What do you think? 2275 01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:36,680 Speaker 2: Yes? Because I's now the one thing that comes out 2276 01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:39,559 Speaker 2: the natural argument that everyone has, Well, can they take 2277 01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:42,120 Speaker 2: a hit? What's gonna happen when they get hit? What's 2278 01:47:42,160 --> 01:47:45,200 Speaker 2: gonna happen when people split them apart? Here's what I'll say, 2279 01:47:45,720 --> 01:47:49,840 Speaker 2: everyone that plays pro football doesn't love getting hit. All 2280 01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:52,120 Speaker 2: those wide receivers that are running around, they don't enjoy 2281 01:47:52,400 --> 01:47:55,960 Speaker 2: the physical contact. They don't do that. Some of this 2282 01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:59,040 Speaker 2: stuff can be taught in terms of having an acceptable 2283 01:48:00,840 --> 01:48:03,960 Speaker 2: level of toughness when it comes to playing the game. 2284 01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:07,240 Speaker 2: And imagine because everyone thinks like, oh, they got to 2285 01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:09,719 Speaker 2: go through training camp or whatever, but we're talking about overtime. 2286 01:48:10,080 --> 01:48:12,679 Speaker 2: If you give me two years to work with NBA 2287 01:48:12,800 --> 01:48:15,599 Speaker 2: players to get them ready to play, they absolutely can 2288 01:48:15,640 --> 01:48:17,439 Speaker 2: do it. If you put them on the practice field 2289 01:48:17,439 --> 01:48:19,880 Speaker 2: and they practice every day and they work on a 2290 01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:23,120 Speaker 2: certain battery of skills that we're saying you have to 2291 01:48:23,240 --> 01:48:25,519 Speaker 2: have these skills to be able to play, they can 2292 01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:29,040 Speaker 2: do it. It's a developmental sport. It's a developmental game. Yes, 2293 01:48:29,439 --> 01:48:31,240 Speaker 2: a lot of guys doing I'm not saying every NBA 2294 01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:33,920 Speaker 2: player can make it, just like every NFL player can't 2295 01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:36,160 Speaker 2: go to the NBA. But if you're asking me, can 2296 01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:38,160 Speaker 2: I find thirty NBA players that can play in the 2297 01:48:38,240 --> 01:48:41,479 Speaker 2: National Football League one hundred percent, I can find thirty 2298 01:48:41,560 --> 01:48:43,479 Speaker 2: NBA players that can make it a National Football leaguer. 2299 01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:43,680 Speaker 2: There you go. 2300 01:48:43,760 --> 01:48:46,360 Speaker 1: And I think JJ Watt put a bow about this 2301 01:48:46,479 --> 01:48:48,720 Speaker 1: whole thing. I love what he said. He came back 2302 01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:51,160 Speaker 1: and attacked Austin River. But I say, look, quote, you 2303 01:48:51,200 --> 01:48:53,200 Speaker 1: don't get a job at either right now, go ahead 2304 01:48:53,240 --> 01:48:55,519 Speaker 1: and try it. This is what what put on an 2305 01:48:55,800 --> 01:48:58,040 Speaker 1: X And then he followed up. He said. He admitted 2306 01:48:58,080 --> 01:48:59,920 Speaker 1: that he couldn't play in the NBA, and he's courting now. 2307 01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:03,559 Speaker 1: For the record, I could absolutely not play in the NBA. 2308 01:49:04,040 --> 01:49:06,040 Speaker 1: Six hard fouls is about all I could give you 2309 01:49:06,360 --> 01:49:08,759 Speaker 1: and call it a day. I love it, so JJ Watt, 2310 01:49:08,920 --> 01:49:11,160 Speaker 1: thank you very much. You put it all together. Now 2311 01:49:11,439 --> 01:49:12,680 Speaker 1: I got to move on to there. We got a 2312 01:49:12,680 --> 01:49:14,960 Speaker 1: couple of minutes here. Let me put this together here, 2313 01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:17,200 Speaker 1: because this is one thing I really don't get. I 2314 01:49:17,360 --> 01:49:19,640 Speaker 1: really don't because this is a stretch. This is a 2315 01:49:19,680 --> 01:49:22,479 Speaker 1: weak criticism. And remember without the quarterbacks that were picked 2316 01:49:22,520 --> 01:49:24,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL draft. Six quarterbacks were taken in the 2317 01:49:24,800 --> 01:49:28,040 Speaker 1: first twelve picks of this past draft. The seventh quarterback, 2318 01:49:28,240 --> 01:49:32,240 Speaker 1: Spencer Rattler, he waited five rounds and he waited two 2319 01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:35,559 Speaker 1: days to be drafted. He drafted one hundred and fiftieth 2320 01:49:35,640 --> 01:49:38,960 Speaker 1: overall by the New Orleans Saints, and then it was 2321 01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:43,640 Speaker 1: reported by the NFL network. I believe that he was 2322 01:49:43,840 --> 01:49:49,000 Speaker 1: dumped that far down because he had a show in 2323 01:49:49,200 --> 01:49:53,880 Speaker 1: high school, a reality show called QB one Beyond the Lights, 2324 01:49:54,360 --> 01:49:57,080 Speaker 1: and they said it didn't make them look great. And 2325 01:49:57,200 --> 01:50:00,320 Speaker 1: it's unbelievable how many different teams mentioned to to him 2326 01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:03,760 Speaker 1: on the NFL network. I think it was Ian Rappaport 2327 01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:07,439 Speaker 1: mentioned to him that the image in the show and 2328 01:50:07,520 --> 01:50:09,640 Speaker 1: they couldn't get out of their heads, which would be 2329 01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:12,200 Speaker 1: a public service announcement to all seventeen year olds. But 2330 01:50:12,280 --> 01:50:16,759 Speaker 1: it's fascinating that it did not help him in the draft. Look, 2331 01:50:17,360 --> 01:50:20,439 Speaker 1: it's a high school thing, it's a high school show. 2332 01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:23,880 Speaker 1: How could that affect him in the NFL Draft? I 2333 01:50:23,920 --> 01:50:24,400 Speaker 1: don't get it. 2334 01:50:24,840 --> 01:50:27,800 Speaker 2: I mean, come on, it's not even so no, no, no, 2335 01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:31,200 Speaker 2: So here's what happens. And so here's another thing that 2336 01:50:31,400 --> 01:50:36,679 Speaker 2: the public should understand. Every NFL draft prospect, their high 2337 01:50:36,680 --> 01:50:42,360 Speaker 2: school coach gets a questionnaire from NFL teams because what 2338 01:50:42,479 --> 01:50:44,760 Speaker 2: you're trying to do is really find out who the 2339 01:50:44,840 --> 01:50:47,160 Speaker 2: player is. And so what you're trying to do is 2340 01:50:47,320 --> 01:50:50,160 Speaker 2: track how they're not only how their skills develop over time, 2341 01:50:50,479 --> 01:50:53,639 Speaker 2: but how did their personalities develop? And what you're trying 2342 01:50:53,720 --> 01:50:56,640 Speaker 2: to assess is what is this player really going to 2343 01:50:56,720 --> 01:50:59,559 Speaker 2: be like when we get him in the building. Because 2344 01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:03,400 Speaker 2: of the minted contact that NFL teams have with prospects, 2345 01:51:03,640 --> 01:51:08,400 Speaker 2: they're trying to get a full, comprehensive background report on 2346 01:51:08,560 --> 01:51:11,560 Speaker 2: who this player is. Going to be. So it's not 2347 01:51:11,760 --> 01:51:14,200 Speaker 2: uncommon to go talk to a high school coach. It's 2348 01:51:14,280 --> 01:51:16,519 Speaker 2: not uncommon to talk to a high school teacher or 2349 01:51:16,600 --> 01:51:21,160 Speaker 2: principal about an athlete. What Spencer Radler did by going 2350 01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:24,720 Speaker 2: on QB one, he allowed scouts to see who he 2351 01:51:25,040 --> 01:51:28,120 Speaker 2: was at seventeen. It's not to say that he couldn't change, 2352 01:51:28,439 --> 01:51:32,640 Speaker 2: but that first impression matters. Now, I'll say this, a 2353 01:51:32,720 --> 01:51:36,479 Speaker 2: lot of times people are who they were in high school. 2354 01:51:36,760 --> 01:51:39,160 Speaker 2: I've been around athletes. I've coached these athletes at camps 2355 01:51:39,200 --> 01:51:41,280 Speaker 2: around the league. A lot of times, the way they 2356 01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:43,840 Speaker 2: were at eighteen nineteen is the same way they're going 2357 01:51:43,880 --> 01:51:46,400 Speaker 2: to be at twenty two to twenty three. Being around 2358 01:51:46,520 --> 01:51:49,439 Speaker 2: Christian Kirk when Christian Kirk was a high school sophomore 2359 01:51:49,479 --> 01:51:52,439 Speaker 2: in junior, watching him develop the professionalism that he displayed 2360 01:51:52,479 --> 01:51:56,240 Speaker 2: in he was the same way at his high school 2361 01:51:56,320 --> 01:51:58,800 Speaker 2: years as he is with the Jacksonville Jaguars when I 2362 01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:01,519 Speaker 2: see him, love for ball, loved his business or whatever. 2363 01:52:01,600 --> 01:52:04,360 Speaker 2: Same thing with Calvin Ridley or whatever. So when people 2364 01:52:04,479 --> 01:52:08,439 Speaker 2: get outraged about the Spencer rather stuff, it's because like 2365 01:52:08,680 --> 01:52:11,160 Speaker 2: they shouldn't, because people are trying to figure out who 2366 01:52:11,200 --> 01:52:12,760 Speaker 2: he was and he was a jerk on that show. 2367 01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:14,679 Speaker 2: I would say he was a jerk on that show. 2368 01:52:14,720 --> 01:52:17,240 Speaker 2: I think he was suspended his last year of high 2369 01:52:17,240 --> 01:52:19,320 Speaker 2: school where he didn't play his last year in Arizona 2370 01:52:19,640 --> 01:52:22,040 Speaker 2: or whatever. So like that is something that you want 2371 01:52:22,120 --> 01:52:25,280 Speaker 2: to take into consideration. How is he going to fit 2372 01:52:25,479 --> 01:52:28,080 Speaker 2: into the locker room. Yes, he might have matured from 2373 01:52:28,160 --> 01:52:31,920 Speaker 2: those years he went from Oklahoma to South Carolina and 2374 01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:34,599 Speaker 2: they talked about how he was or whatever, but it's 2375 01:52:34,640 --> 01:52:38,280 Speaker 2: still part of the evaluation how is he fit. But 2376 01:52:38,439 --> 01:52:40,280 Speaker 2: that's not the reason why he fell in the draft. 2377 01:52:40,520 --> 01:52:43,519 Speaker 2: The reason why he fell in the draft, well, people 2378 01:52:43,640 --> 01:52:45,920 Speaker 2: perceived him to fall. The reason why he went fifth 2379 01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:48,840 Speaker 2: round is because when you look at Spencer rather Spencer 2380 01:52:48,920 --> 01:52:51,080 Speaker 2: Radler is six ' to one. Spencer Ralla has a 2381 01:52:51,120 --> 01:52:55,080 Speaker 2: slender frame. Spencer Rally doesn't have great athleticism. He has 2382 01:52:55,560 --> 01:52:59,439 Speaker 2: I would say B B plus arm talent. That's why 2383 01:52:59,520 --> 01:53:02,120 Speaker 2: he went. He doesn't have the superpowers that some of 2384 01:53:02,160 --> 01:53:03,840 Speaker 2: the other guys at the top of the board have, 2385 01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:06,640 Speaker 2: and so when you're evaluating guys, you're looking for the 2386 01:53:06,720 --> 01:53:09,560 Speaker 2: superpowers that are going to allow them to succeed. He 2387 01:53:09,800 --> 01:53:12,320 Speaker 2: doesn't have as many as the other guys, which is 2388 01:53:12,400 --> 01:53:14,479 Speaker 2: why he was graded the way that he was graded, 2389 01:53:14,600 --> 01:53:18,000 Speaker 2: which fifth round pick is a developmental player who could 2390 01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:20,320 Speaker 2: be a backup in the league. That's how the league saw. 2391 01:53:20,439 --> 01:53:23,479 Speaker 2: Now that's up for it's on him to prove otherwise. 2392 01:53:23,600 --> 01:53:25,840 Speaker 2: But that's why he's a fifth round pick, not because 2393 01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:27,320 Speaker 2: of his appearance on QB one. 2394 01:53:27,840 --> 01:53:29,439 Speaker 1: No, you say he was a jerk on QB one. 2395 01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:31,679 Speaker 1: It was reported here that one clip from the show. 2396 01:53:32,160 --> 01:53:34,320 Speaker 1: This clip had almost seven hundred and seventy five thousand 2397 01:53:34,400 --> 01:53:37,959 Speaker 1: views on YouTube. It showed Spencer Radler laying into receivers 2398 01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:40,439 Speaker 1: during practice and also getting into an argument with the 2399 01:53:40,560 --> 01:53:44,160 Speaker 1: junior quarterback J D. Johnson, and he says, quote, what 2400 01:53:44,320 --> 01:53:47,240 Speaker 1: did you do in one on ones? Johnson asked Radler. 2401 01:53:47,400 --> 01:53:50,639 Speaker 1: Quote I blamed it on you, said Radler, because quote, 2402 01:53:51,040 --> 01:53:52,640 Speaker 1: you sucked. That's what he did. 2403 01:53:52,720 --> 01:53:52,880 Speaker 2: Say. 2404 01:53:52,920 --> 01:53:55,600 Speaker 1: He was a jerk, I guess on this show and 2405 01:53:55,800 --> 01:53:58,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people remember that. So that was part 2406 01:53:58,800 --> 01:54:01,439 Speaker 1: of the reason you're right is slender Frame was. 2407 01:54:01,439 --> 01:54:05,240 Speaker 2: A slender framing on it, but he was a jerk 2408 01:54:05,280 --> 01:54:06,880 Speaker 2: because I remember watching the show. Because you know what, 2409 01:54:07,400 --> 01:54:11,160 Speaker 2: that series also had guys like Justin Fields on it. 2410 01:54:11,560 --> 01:54:13,880 Speaker 2: Sam Hartman the quarterback from Notre Dame who made his 2411 01:54:13,960 --> 01:54:16,519 Speaker 2: way to the Commanders. He's been on it. Jake fromm 2412 01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:19,000 Speaker 2: was featured on it. Like there are a bunch of 2413 01:54:19,120 --> 01:54:22,800 Speaker 2: these shows that have featured these quarterbacks. We've never heard it. 2414 01:54:23,040 --> 01:54:25,600 Speaker 2: We didn't hear justin Fields Disparas when he was on 2415 01:54:25,760 --> 01:54:28,560 Speaker 2: QB one, they had an opportunity to see him. No 2416 01:54:28,640 --> 01:54:31,120 Speaker 2: one talked about it. It was only because of Spencer 2417 01:54:31,240 --> 01:54:35,040 Speaker 2: Ratler's behavior, not because of the show. His behavior was 2418 01:54:35,080 --> 01:54:37,560 Speaker 2: egregious to the point you're like, my god, like why 2419 01:54:37,600 --> 01:54:41,320 Speaker 2: would you like this guy? He was unlikable when you 2420 01:54:41,440 --> 01:54:44,320 Speaker 2: watch the show. That certainly matters when it comes to that. 2421 01:54:45,120 --> 01:54:47,080 Speaker 1: And it's funny you mentioned you say that some kids 2422 01:54:47,320 --> 01:54:50,160 Speaker 1: who are seventeen, they remain with that same personality when 2423 01:54:50,160 --> 01:54:52,280 Speaker 1: they're twenty two or twenty three. It says here in 2424 01:54:52,360 --> 01:54:55,000 Speaker 1: the report that the image of Rattler and QB one 2425 01:54:55,080 --> 01:54:59,840 Speaker 1: as a combative teammate with terrible leadership tendencies followed him 2426 01:55:00,080 --> 01:55:03,120 Speaker 1: around to his early enrollment with the Oklahoma Sooners and 2427 01:55:03,280 --> 01:55:06,720 Speaker 1: also to his transfer to South Carolina. How do you 2428 01:55:06,880 --> 01:55:09,400 Speaker 1: like that? So he didn't change at all, or it 2429 01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:12,360 Speaker 1: didn't change as much. So no that hurts it. 2430 01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:14,680 Speaker 2: Okay, So here's the other thing. 2431 01:55:15,320 --> 01:55:17,640 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams talked about. 2432 01:55:18,200 --> 01:55:20,760 Speaker 2: He was mad at Lincoln Riley that he wasn't the 2433 01:55:20,800 --> 01:55:24,360 Speaker 2: starting quarterback from day one at Oklahoma because he felt 2434 01:55:24,440 --> 01:55:28,120 Speaker 2: like he was a better player than Spencer Ratler from 2435 01:55:28,160 --> 01:55:30,640 Speaker 2: the jump. He said that on the podcast to Pivot 2436 01:55:31,120 --> 01:55:34,600 Speaker 2: like he talked about that. I'm paraphrasing, but he talked 2437 01:55:34,640 --> 01:55:37,040 Speaker 2: about that. So none of this stuff is made up, 2438 01:55:37,200 --> 01:55:40,000 Speaker 2: Like the patterns of behavior tend to follow you unless 2439 01:55:40,040 --> 01:55:43,720 Speaker 2: you do a really deep dive into why you were 2440 01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:46,160 Speaker 2: the way you were and you make changes. So he 2441 01:55:46,280 --> 01:55:49,120 Speaker 2: may have changed, he may have become more mature, but 2442 01:55:49,720 --> 01:55:52,080 Speaker 2: you talked about it. So now you've looked up that 2443 01:55:52,200 --> 01:55:54,560 Speaker 2: people talked about it at Oklahoma, they talked about at 2444 01:55:54,560 --> 01:55:57,720 Speaker 2: South Carolina or whatever. All of that stuff mattered because 2445 01:55:57,800 --> 01:55:59,880 Speaker 2: it was first shown in QB one. And when you 2446 01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:03,600 Speaker 2: ask other people about if Fallow Spencer red, there you go. 2447 01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:04,200 Speaker 2: Good thing. 2448 01:56:04,240 --> 01:56:06,320 Speaker 1: I'm not on QB one, how any like that?

Guys, college athletes, 2466 01:56:53,320 --> 01:56:54,520 Speaker 4: employees are students. 2467 01:56:54,600 --> 01:56:57,280 Speaker 1: Who do you blame? Who's up first? 2468 01:56:57,480 --> 01:56:58,360 Speaker 4: Let's go with you Andy. 2469 01:56:59,200 --> 01:57:01,480 Speaker 1: You know what, though I blame the media and I 2470 01:57:01,560 --> 01:57:03,960 Speaker 1: blame college presidents. They don't have the handing downs, they 2471 01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:06,160 Speaker 1: don't have the onions to say, look, this is an 2472 01:57:06,160 --> 01:57:09,640 Speaker 1: institution of higher learning. You're a student, You're not an athlete. 2473 01:57:09,640 --> 01:57:12,200 Speaker 1: You're an athlete first. No, no, you're a student first 2474 01:57:12,240 --> 01:57:15,160 Speaker 1: and an athlete. It's changed now nowither are athletes students. 2475 01:57:15,240 --> 01:57:16,760 Speaker 1: Just just the way it is right now. That's the 2476 01:57:16,800 --> 01:57:18,640 Speaker 1: way the system is, and it stinks. 2477 01:57:20,680 --> 01:57:22,480 Speaker 2: I won't say to the stinks. I think it's always 2478 01:57:22,520 --> 01:57:25,600 Speaker 2: been a situation where they've been working for the university. 2479 01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:28,920 Speaker 2: The difference that it's different. What's different is they now 2480 01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:32,080 Speaker 2: deserve to get paid for their work. Everyone else's benefiting 2481 01:57:32,160 --> 01:57:35,640 Speaker 2: off of them, university ads, coaches, everyone was making the 2482 01:57:35,720 --> 01:57:37,640 Speaker 2: money and they didn't send any money to the players. 2483 01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:40,360 Speaker 2: They now just tipped the scales where the players are 2484 01:57:40,440 --> 01:57:43,640 Speaker 2: getting their just due, which is a share of the revenue. 2485 01:57:43,640 --> 01:57:44,920 Speaker 2: It should have been done a long time ago. 2486 01:57:46,720 --> 01:57:49,600 Speaker 4: Last week, matt Ishia, Phoenix Suns owner said his team 2487 01:57:49,680 --> 01:57:52,200 Speaker 4: was in great shape. Ben he fired first year coach 2488 01:57:52,320 --> 01:57:52,960 Speaker 4: Frank Vogel. 2489 01:57:53,560 --> 01:57:56,320 Speaker 1: Who do you blame, Bucky? 2490 01:57:56,960 --> 01:57:59,280 Speaker 2: I blame the owner. I blame the owner because he 2491 01:57:59,360 --> 01:58:03,680 Speaker 2: had outside expectations. He thought that owning an NBA team 2492 01:58:03,800 --> 01:58:06,480 Speaker 2: is like fantasy football, fantasy basketball. You just bring all 2493 01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:08,480 Speaker 2: these players, get the top guys, and i'mnna win. It 2494 01:58:08,520 --> 01:58:10,400 Speaker 2: doesn't work like that. You got to put together team. 2495 01:58:10,480 --> 01:58:12,320 Speaker 2: They didn't put together good team, which is why they're 2496 01:58:12,320 --> 01:58:12,640 Speaker 2: lose them. 2497 01:58:13,480 --> 01:58:15,760 Speaker 1: Hey, Matt, obviously your team wasn't in great shape. I'll 2498 01:58:15,760 --> 01:58:17,760 Speaker 1: tell you what. Heither, use your mind. Your mind's not 2499 01:58:17,800 --> 01:58:19,840 Speaker 1: in great shape. Because look, first you say your team 2500 01:58:19,920 --> 01:58:21,560 Speaker 1: was in great shape. First of all, you probably had 2501 01:58:21,560 --> 01:58:23,640 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure for media people, and you know what, 2502 01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:26,760 Speaker 1: you have no scruples, you know what, Stick with Vogel. 2503 01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:29,080 Speaker 1: He's a good coach. He did a good job in Indianapolis. 2504 01:58:29,280 --> 01:58:31,320 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, I hope the Phoenix Suns never 2505 01:58:31,440 --> 01:58:32,680 Speaker 1: win because you're the owner. 2506 01:58:32,800 --> 01:58:36,960 Speaker 4: How do you like that Minnesota Timberwise guard Anthony Edwards 2507 01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:38,400 Speaker 4: being compared to Michael Jordan. 2508 01:58:38,440 --> 01:58:39,120 Speaker 1: Who do you blame? 2509 01:58:39,320 --> 01:58:39,800 Speaker 4: Let's start with you. 2510 01:58:39,880 --> 01:58:42,240 Speaker 1: Oh, I'll take care of this because again, this is 2511 01:58:42,320 --> 01:58:45,000 Speaker 1: a media fascination, you know, you know, just leave Anthony 2512 01:58:45,160 --> 01:58:47,160 Speaker 1: Edwards alone. He's a great player. He's going to be 2513 01:58:47,240 --> 01:58:50,720 Speaker 1: a super duper player. He's a superstar in the making 2514 01:58:50,840 --> 01:58:53,640 Speaker 1: right now for the Minnesota Timberwolves. But to compare him 2515 01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:56,000 Speaker 1: of a guy who's retired with a track regular of 2516 01:58:56,040 --> 01:58:58,360 Speaker 1: what he has. You know, anybody who says that's an idiot. 2517 01:58:58,480 --> 01:59:00,800 Speaker 1: Anybody who says that's a fool. It'll be great to 2518 01:59:00,840 --> 01:59:04,080 Speaker 1: be compared to him. When he can be compared to him, 2519 01:59:04,240 --> 01:59:07,320 Speaker 1: It's too early. The time is not yet for Anthony Edwards. 2520 01:59:08,440 --> 01:59:10,840 Speaker 2: Yes, Anthony errors far because he's too good. He's so 2521 01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:13,400 Speaker 2: good that we had to start digging into the anamals 2522 01:59:13,440 --> 01:59:16,000 Speaker 2: to try and figure out who could we compare ant 2523 01:59:16,080 --> 01:59:18,920 Speaker 2: Man too and so naturally, when you look at his personality, 2524 01:59:19,000 --> 01:59:20,920 Speaker 2: you look at his game, people are trying to figure 2525 01:59:20,920 --> 01:59:23,360 Speaker 2: out man, who is he like? He is like Jordan 2526 01:59:23,440 --> 01:59:25,200 Speaker 2: in terms of the competitor streak, the way that he 2527 01:59:25,320 --> 01:59:28,000 Speaker 2: jawed at Kevin Durant as Anthony was far. He's too good. 2528 01:59:29,360 --> 01:59:32,400 Speaker 4: Deon Sanders had some controversial remarks on social media last week. 2529 01:59:32,480 --> 01:59:34,080 Speaker 4: Does the media get the blame for baiting him? 2530 01:59:35,840 --> 01:59:36,120 Speaker 1: Buck? 2531 01:59:37,080 --> 01:59:39,840 Speaker 2: I mean, like, look, he look, people love clip bait 2532 01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:42,640 Speaker 2: and we love Dean Sanders because we know he's can 2533 01:59:42,760 --> 01:59:45,160 Speaker 2: get a reaction one way or the other. Dean Sanders 2534 01:59:45,280 --> 01:59:48,200 Speaker 2: is the blame for falling for the bait. But he 2535 01:59:48,320 --> 01:59:50,640 Speaker 2: has to know this is a media trick. You know what. 2536 01:59:50,800 --> 01:59:53,640 Speaker 1: Dan Sanders is a center of attention. He's become like 2537 01:59:53,720 --> 01:59:56,440 Speaker 1: the villain of America. Really, whatever he does, people follow 2538 01:59:56,520 --> 01:59:58,400 Speaker 1: his every move, and a lot of these media people 2539 01:59:58,400 --> 02:00:00,640 Speaker 1: can't wait for him to lose and fail Colorado. It's 2540 02:00:00,640 --> 02:00:02,840 Speaker 1: not gonna happen. But Deands's own worst enemy because he 2541 02:00:02,920 --> 02:00:06,000 Speaker 1: did say that his controversial remarks were made because get this, 2542 02:00:06,400 --> 02:00:10,000 Speaker 1: he was bored. Come on, Dion, you're not bored. Do something. 2543 02:00:10,520 --> 02:00:13,040 Speaker 1: Can't believe it, that's it, that's what it'll be done. 2544 02:00:13,280 --> 02:00:16,360 Speaker 1: That's it.
